[Chevelle-list] 1967 Chevelle Windshield Installation

[J. Brady]

On my '66, I actually called AutoLite and they had a
guy come out and do it, and install the studs for the
clips.  Then again my ride was pretty bad off when I
got it, so I didn't want to add to the pain by
breaking a windshield or not setting it up correctly.

AutoLite came right to the house and did it in my
driveway.  He was done in about 30 min.

Good luck,

Jim
'66 Malibu
