47-55.1 Best place to buy glass

[joedoh]

i use black urethane to install glass, originally they used glass setting tape but i find that to be a fiddly chore. the only thing I will say though is have the wing window frame in the wing window assembly with the new edge seal installed on the assembly, to get the depth of the glass in the frame correct. there is a lip on the seal the glass sits against and when you use urethane it can be too far out or in on that seal.

i get glass from LMC but mostly because they are semi-local and i can pick up, saving the crating and (much higher) shipping charges for glass. and I get a 10% discount for paying at the counter. i have seen complete glass kits from autocity on ebay, i have heard good things about them too.

before truk went wingless, i had replaced the setting tape in the drives side. it required two clamps, a block of wood and a hammer too get the glass seated with tape. scary...
with electric windows i used the black urethane, easy peasy!
