Peter sent me a lovely replacement glass for my windshield on ERA 3014 so I can repair a stone chip.

The instructions in the ERA manual only address the preassembled frame+glass assembly.

Any tips on replacing the glass? Without having taken anything apart yet, I'm guessing:

1. Strip all accessories (visors, wind wings, mirrors) from frame
2. Unscrew center bracket from body
3. Unbolt windshield frame from chassis under cowl and withdraw frame+glass assembly entirely from car
4. Remove screws holding the frame sides to the frame edge segments
5. Remove edge segments and rubber strips from old glass
6. Trim new rubber strips to the length of each side of new glass, pointing the ends at 45 degrees to correspond with edge segments
7. Wrap rubber strips around the edge of each side of glass and engage with corresponding edge segment
8. Screw sides back onto framed windshield, being careful not to overpenetrate and crack glass
9. Reinstall finished frame+glass assembly in car (bolt in and reattach center bracket)
10. Reattach accessories

Sound about right?

Would love to know if any other materials/procedures are needed. I don't think any sealant/goo is involved. I did notice a YT video where dish soap was recommended as lube for getting the edge segments on.
