Harmon,
I have yet to install my windshield and am in the same boat. Mine is completely disassembled as I got mine as a basket case. I have managed to acquire all of the right (?) pieces and hope to get it done when my car comes back from paint. I have fabricated the funny shaped gaskets that go under the posts.

I'm not a big fan of all that slippery stuf and string, etc. I have installed a windshield in my 79 Spider without resorting to that, twice. I've had discussions with several prople about the process, and the one that makes the best sense is Tom Lesko, the president of our chapter of AROC, Alfa Owners of New England. He says to assemble the frame and glass and then install the whole assembly on the car as a unit!

Good Luck,
Terry
