Needs tips for installing rear window
 
Well, the front window went in after 1/2 hrs of trying. Thanks to the tips which I found in this site. The rear window seems to be different story. No luck after 2 hours. I have small rear window. I bought a new one with new seal from LMC. The seal is a little loose around the window (is it suppose to be?). I have problem to get it in the window frame on the cab. I mean I can't get it over the lipe of the window opening on the cab. By the way is The rear window suppose to go in from the top or bottom:crazy:
Thanks.

I have a large window and i start by putting a 1/4 or so cord in the grove around the window crossing at the bottom, spray some silicone around the cab opening and the rubber. Then i put the bottom of the window in and sttart pulling the cord. it helps to have someone pushig on the window as you pull the cord. When i get to the corners it usually takes some finess. Make sure when you pull the cord you dont pull the other end of the cord into the rubber. Hope this helps..

thanks Mike. That was what I tried to do. I placed the front one like that and it worked well but for the small rear one I am having hard time to get it close to the opening on the cab. I guess I just have to play with it more:confused:
