The windshield is back in.

There must be a fair amount of technique involved in using the string ( 1/8" braided nylon or poly rope, please) to pull the gasket over the edge of the body flange. Slapping and thumping the windshield did get it pretty well centered in the opening.

I wound up installing it like mounting a tube type tire. I got the seal over the bottom section of the flange and used a small 'L' shaped tool as the tire iron to work the bead around the rest of the rim.

I don't think I pinched the tube but the gasket does not lie completely flat against the flange on the sides of the windshield frame.
