64 MOP cars have clips that hold the mouldings and some have screw on side mlds. The Valiant, Belvedere and Fury have self locking w/strips. Put the rubber on the body, open the lock, lube the rubber and install the glass in the rubber use a plastic stick(bone) less chance of breaking glass. Lock the rubber and install mlds. Make sure you have the correct clips for the chrome the clips should be on the car before you put in the glass. Also you should seal between the rubber and body and rubber and glass. The rubber is there to hold the glass in but will not seal the glass/body without extra sealer. The van is same set up put rubber on body without locking strip, lube, install glass and then install lock strip. Sometimes the lock will push in and sometimes you will need a lockstrip tool to install.There is a special tool to install the chrome lock if your friend has to have chrome but you are better off with the black lock and it will not fade like the chrome. Also needs extra sealer to stop leaks. Rope in is for rubber sets like VW Bugs and some Freightliners. HTH
