Good description of installing a window with a "traditional" seal.

All I would add is don't use an sealant. Silicone spray is fine as a lubricant. Sealant will set up before the window and seal seat properly, and it will leak. Both the front windshield in my brother's 75 300D and the one we "rescued" from the junkyard had been "glued" in, and it was obvious when removed that they had been leaking, too!
