During transport the window popped open on the cab of my tractor. The gasket came loose and the glass almost fell out. The driver saw it luckily, and removed the glass. Now I have to re-install it. I remember seeing a guy do it once with a piece of string that he used to stretch the gasket and he fed in the glass. The cross section of the gasket looks like 2 C's back to back. I sure would appeciate any advice and thanks in advance!

The other fella's are correct, use a piece of heavy twine,string,small rope etc and "Roll the rubber lip of the gasket into the frame of the cab.

Hey Bud. I'll try to explain this, and hope it makes sense. Been a long time since I had to do it to a VW windshield. I used a length of nylon line, and I attached one end to an 8" piece of closet pole dowel (to give me something to grip). Lay the line inside the outter channel of the gasket, but have the dowell end on the outside where you are. Have a helper inside the cab, pushing the glass evenly against the frame of the window. Grab the dowel handle and start pulling the line out of the channel while your helper puts outward pressure on that area. The outter channel of the gasket will start grabbing the lip of the window opening as you pull the string out. When you get to the end, you should have it all, or may need a wooden or plastic shim to dig out the last inch or so.

Hope this helps..... ..... Ed

I did it on my Hudson windshield using 14 ga. stranded insulated wire. The insulation is smoother than twine.
Also saw it done years before with the old-fashioned vinyl coated clothesline.

Using palmolive dish soap to lube up gasket (rubber) will help it slide in. Using two pieces of wood helps also. This way you can also hold the other end from pulling thru or have it handy to work the window in from both directions
