69 windshield install

[Mark S.]

Getting ready to install the windshield in my 69. First time on a Vette. Did a test fit to make sure all was good before the adhesive and trim clips go on. I did not see any hole or provision for a glass support piece on the cowl (like F body gm cars) nor does anyone seem to sell any. It looks like there were rubber blocks that just sat on the ridge in the cowl supporting the glass on either side (I have what appears to have come off the original windshield). I don't see these for sale either but do see them in kits. Does anyone know if this is the correct type of support to keep the glass from sliding down until the adhesive dries? I see the kit uses butyl tape but not sure that was used originally. Any guidance is helpful.

Thanks,

Mark

Dr Rebuild sells the foam blocks that the windshield sits on.
I think he sells all that's needed .
I'd love to have you post up your process to install the windshield.
It's on my list of things to do on my 69
