Re: Rear window Gasket

little dab of 3m weatherstrip adhesive to join the ends, offset the expansion cord joint from the seal joint and glue it at end too

also for good seal, get a tube on non hardening butyl rubber glass sealant and run a bead in the rubber on both the body and glass side.

For windshield butyl rubber on body side and adhesive on glass side to help lock it in place.


I am not a glass guy, but Precision has some utube videos on installing glass in old trucks, they are worth watching. I made a ball end tool from a junk screwdriver, bent a welding rod into a tool to feed the cord into rear seal and found some good quality hard finish cord to pull the windshield rubber seal with.
got all 3 pieces of glass in with a helper, no leaks
