I have considered many times just doing the job myself using OEM glass and seal. I know there is a risk of the glass breaking, but I know that I would do the job correctly. I would have removed almost every trace of sealant and started with a clean surface. Then I would have filled the glass channel with the 3M bedding compound and carefully stretched the seal over the glass. I would have then inserted the molding (being sure it was not bent beforehand). Then the body would get sealant in the windshield area, and I would put a rope inside the lip of the seal, and have a helper help me place the windshield and seal perfectly centered on the body, and then start from the lower center of the seal, pulling the rope a little on each side until the seal was in there, and using those suction cup things or the palms of my hands I would make sure the windshield was seated properly. I do all the work on my car (except alignments) because I don't trust other people to work on it. This is a prime example.
