These cheap tools are used in the removal/installation of car door panels, dash, trims. You can easly find it at eBay typing "plastic removal pry tool"
***You can spray the seal with silicone or WD40 too, for ease of installation. |

I buy those plastic tools at Harbour Freight. They are fantastic when doing doors or other seals as they don't scratch the paint.

Just one small step this weekend: considering the research and the evidence, I decided to make "five" holes on the leather strap:

I’ve decided to fix the upper portion of the windshield. That's why I've been far away from my Barndoor for three months now.
The work is being finished in a workshop located 155 miles from home:
Below, the tools of my bus:
P.S .: Today (September 7th) is the 66th anniversary of my Barndoor

Hi, Everett! No, this tool (for spark plug, lug nut and jack) is not the original which left the factory with my bus. I found it in Germany, at HO13.
Look at the writing, closely

Hi, Dion! The work was done by a professional, but under my supervision and help. It was not an easy job, though. From finding the best material to make the covers, measuring the distances between the seams, installing the grab handles…
But the seats still need a bit of sun and heat to stretch out.
The black material was the closest I could find in my country. It is not perfect, but it is quite similar to the original.

I don't understand why you're working back on the windshield, looked good on the old pictures.
