[Vwdiesel] Windshield gasket chrome strip

[Terry Briggs]

I've installed a few windshields in the past of varying vintage that 
had lock strips, about the only way to do it without taking a hammer to 
it is to install the strip first , then put the windshield in, using 
some good nylon cord and a lot of lube.
