Rubber mallet. When setting my one piece windows I put the glass end down on carpet. Wrapped the adhesive around the glass and gently tapped the track down onto the glass with a rubber mallet.

I like using a little windex to clean the window first.

1. Then take your tape lay it flat squirt a little windex on both sides and wrap it around the glass and position glass in the sill track and tap into place along the top of the glass with rubber mallet.

2. Let dry for about an hour as Windex has an ammonia base and will evaporate.

3. Take a razor blade and trim excess tape along the sill on both sides of the glass.

4. Let it sit and evaporate more if you can. I usually let it sit over night so the tape shrinks really thoroughly around the sill track and the window.

If you have new window seals this is important not to rush the installation as it will be a tight fit and you do not want to pull glass out of the sill track.

esll.
