The first of the window frames is now finished. I decided to put the glass in tonight, in case I broke it and needed to rethink the rubber seal technique. Fortunately it didn't break and went in smoothly. Considerably better than I was expecting.

Did have a little help though. I applied new grease to the parts of the rubber that would be required to slide down into the lower part of the screen frame. Without that, the rubber would have been displaced badly while sliding in.

I'll have to find something useful to do tomorrow now

The transfer case has to come out this weekend, and ideally, front end to be removed as well. I have booked a weeks holiday for late July. That is when the chassis will go for blasting.

P.S: I just couldn't get the upper left corner join to go together perfectly. Perhaps the rubber is preventing a proper fit. I might back the bolts off a little and give a bit of encouragement with a rubber mallet. Failing that...............guess thats how its gonna fit!
