I've gotten to the point of installing the windshield. My question is do I calk the seal to the windshield and let it cure, before attempting to install in car. Using 3M 08509 compound, also using strip caulk around pinch weld seam. This is a 56 nomad, using a Danchuck seal. Been reading threads here on doing this job and i want to make an attempt soon. Any advise would be appreciated.

couple pointers
new rubber from a quality supplier.
Only do this on a warm day, the hotter the better.
before you attempt to put the rubber on the glass toss it out in the sun and let it bake till it is hot to the touch.
Lubricate with sudsy foamy style glass cleaner during install, you can never use too much lube.
long handle hook tools are a godsend.
