use plastic scrapers to work it in the last corner will probably suck. I havent done my jeep yet but the rear windsheild to my galaxy was a pain...I would also reccomend the black windsheild sealer to keep water out of your channel 
Good luck
Good luck

- FORMER: 1979 Jeep CJ5 w/ stock 304 V8, T-150, Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 30 Front & AMC 20 rear, MC 2100 carb, 31x10.5x15 (8" wheels), no lift (HD leaf pack), Warn 8274 winch, ~99K miles.
I tried this when I was repainting -- my technique must have been off, because I found this to be harder than expected and was fearful of breaking the glass. I'd probably look into having a pro do it next time if I couldn't get someone to assist.

Have a shop do it. If they break the glass they'll replace it, if you break it the you replace the glass. Mine was a pita as the new windshield rubber was to thick.

There are two things I do not do, one time is enough to fail miserably.
I do not mess with radiators and I do not fool with glass. This is just my opinion, I have had enough bad experiences with both to swear off unless it is the only option. Fortunately you can't throw a rock with out hitting a glass guy or radiator shop.
But!
I am a firm believer that no one learns anything the easy way so have at it and good luck, I am cheering for you.

Bust one on install too, lol.
Rope and dishwashing liquid work just not on an untested frame!
