The main point I see that is great hint it's use and mark the center of the windshield matched to the body with some tape.

I was very worried about leakage.  I used the 3M sealant that stays flexible. It probably the most like the original stuff. With out being glue.

I would recommend taping up all of the glass area and some of the body with green tape or cover it some so that sealant doesn't get everywhere.  Same with the interior areas.  It helps for clean up.

That said. I lay the glass in at the bottom centered and worked
My way around the top while my wife pulled the rope from the inside. 

For Original rubbers just make sure to be careful where it's pulling and be soft. Where the flip is happpening just help it.  That where the tear can happen if you go too fast.  Also use more of a blunt helper tool thank a pointy one.   I  reused side window rubbers on 64 Fairlane  wagon and it worked out well. Just gotta handle delicately.
