Help with Door Glass

[1970 CST Short Wide]

Went to 3 Auto Glass shops today. NONE of them had even heard of Glass setting tape !!!
They ALL wanted to clue it in with what looked like Silicone in a big tube mounted on a calking gun.

They wanted to use urethane, because it's what they have handy. It will work, but it will set up hard and you need to make sure the glass is positioned correctly when the glass is set.

As far as using the epoxy, just use a thin piece of cardboard - something like the back of a legal pad - and make a 1/2" wide strip. Set one on each end and the glass should slide down into the track pretty easily. I would do this with the glass in the window felt and the track on the regulator. Run the window up and down to make sure it's not going to bind, and then mark the location on the glass. Once you've done that, you're ready for epoxy. Leave the spacers in place and mix up your epoxy. Set the window in place and let it set.

While you're in there, make sure you lubricate the track where the nylon rollers ride. That seems to be the place where they wear out the quickest.
