On my 1970 model year, I removed the old crusty seal, as well as the metal clip under it. The 914 Rubber piece has its own lips to grip the metal flange running along the base of the windshield. I think it works best if you remove both of the "A" pillar plastic trim pieces on the windshield uprights. That way the new rubber seal along the base can be tucked completely into the lower corners of the windshield and will be held in place by the "A" pillar trims when you re-install them after fitting the rubber seal to the base of the windshield. I also started from the center of the windshield and worked toward each side more or less equally.

It's good as-is, but I appreciate the input. |

Thanks for the help, everyone. Next project might be replacing the fog lights...I'm sure I'll be back with more questions!
