I've read up and I think I'm ready to install

the gl*** in the dodge cab.
54 dodge truck with split front windows and 3 rear, both rear side windows are curved. I have all the new rubber, none has a lock bead.
I am going to have a squirt bottle with soapy water and some rope cord, I'm guessing small like a 1/4 type nylon rope from lowes.

any other clues or wishes of un-broken gl*** you wish to heap upon me?.

 

I send wishes of un-broken gl***.

 

I also send wishes of Un-Broken gl***

 

Good Luck with that Tim, save the curved gl*** until last, build your confidence and skills up with the flats and if you do break anything, I can probally get you some OEM replacements.

good luck man... when i was ASE certified in window repair i never broke a single piece of gl***... but you are doing something daring, best of luck fella! *wishes of no broken gl****

 

HOWDY! RedDude! long time no hear from. thanks for the offer, I hopes I wont be calling you for that

 

...instead of the rope, I've used a length of electrical wire like 14 or 16 guage , lube the pinch welds with dishsoap first, it really helps. You don't need a lot of soap , just run some around the pinch weld with a finger; the rubber should pull/slide rite over the pinchweld nicely.Good luck.

 

^^ pinchwelds?
and are you saying put the rubber on the gl*** first then work the rubber to the truck frame?
I was thinking it would be easier with the rubber on the truck and work the gl*** in the rubber.
now that you mention it,
I guess it would be safer to have the gl*** in the rubber protected and work the frame of the truck instead of the gl***.

dizzamn! thanks

 

best wishes ..

 

I've got a chunk of nylon, kinda like a tongue depressor to help roll the rubber in.
