vent window glass to inner (SS) frame seal
« on: October 09, 2019, 05:07:37 PM »
Have not had luck sourcing the mounting rubber seal for the raw glass to the pivoting SS frame.
Local auto glass shops are backing away from this work. Although they have generic strips of glass mounting rubber, it does not look right.
So first problem is finding the seal
Second is whether this is a pro job due to that acute angle or whether this can be a home job.
This is original, date coded "4C" glass so I can't stand much risk.
I have experience setting side glass in the mounting tray of my 55 F-100, but that was one run and out of sight.

The glass vent frame uses glass setting tape like the door glass.  It's thinner, we have discussed before.  Once the glass is pushed into place, then use a razor blade to trim.
