Hey, nice job on the glass ! Wd 40 works to get glue off skin , before it cures. Try masking tape around the glass and body when you use the sealer, makes nice clean straight edge .
I would have the join of the rubber at the top of the glass. That way it would be harder for water to seep through into the car. If the join is at the bottom, the water from all the glass surface will pool at the bottom and find any gap to seep through.
Not really trying to make a watertight seal with the channel, it's more for cushioning. The sealant stuff should take care of water tightness.....hopefully.
Dave, the glass turn out great! Those are the good kind of pains to have . I'm can't wait to see how you finish the inside of the doors and install the windows. I really am enjoying your openers.
the tabs you bent over the glass have holes in them for the screws that go through the inside glass moldings that finish and allow the headliner to have a finish around the glass.....all of the interior of the windows has a molding that goes around them
@@ScottRods that was the G M problem they used wood for longer than any other of the manufactures...could use steel tube instead of wood...seen some people use 2x4 lumber for that also...your gonna need something to take up the space so you can install the headliner....just tryin to help make life easier...
Was suprised that you didn't use the butyl rubber that's used to install windshields. I believe it's available in 1/4 & 5/16s diameter would be a press and hold application. Gd job anyways getting closer.
Good morning Dave. I know all about window and door rubber mouldings. I paid almost $1,000.00 for the proper window and door rubber, felts and channels for just 2 doors plus my floor matt to fit in the 54 Fargo. It's a shame for sure. The glass really turned out nice Dave. The gray looks very nice, but you should have sprayed RUST CHECK on it first. You may end up with rust bleeding through the paint down the road. Just saying. Rubber gloves would really be good as well. WHO WEARS THE PANTS IN THE HARTMAN HOUSEHOLD 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. 👍👍🍁
Yes, Amazon for the rubber seal. I was lucky that I only needed a U Channel seal that goes round the glass. The windows are installed from inside the car and rest against a metal lip, then interior trim pushes against the glass to hold it in place. I then used a tube of rubber sealant on the outside to finish it off. I made the template out of cardboard and got a local glass guy to cut it. Flat glass panels are easy.
The size you need is totally dependent of the thickness of your glass, and how much overlap you want for your application. I think for me, I got 4mm inside U Channel, with about 15mm wall. But as I say, depends what you are fitting.
We have a 1939 Buick Business Coupe, so wouldn't we use the same size? Would u happen to have link to site on Amazon where u ordered it? Also, what is the name of the black rubber sealant you used. Thank you, love your channel
I seen a drip under the car when it was in gear looked like it was coming from the rear tranny seal. And it only seemed to leak while the drive shaft was spinning. It was while you were working on the brake with the. Back wheel off

Very cool thanks a lot Dave

Amazing how expensive the rubber for doors and windows is. Looks nice with glass in it! Well done!
Lots of us using wifey's Amazon accounts through these crazy days... nice work on the glass Dave !
Pretty amazing something practically invisible can make your project look so much more complete
The front screen is going to make a massive difference.
Another fine job! Saving cash always job 1. I suffer from dyslexic fingers

Yeah, I know, but I don't have them and would also require building the inner body out about 4 inches.

Looks good Dave, but I did think oh no, don't touch your head! Thought you were gonna get stuck 😂
Kick ass job Dave!
If you decide to use garnish trim, those tabs are used to hold them, glass and your headliner
I feel I may be going a different route hehehe

I hope the glass holds on at open road speeds Dave with no inside garnish moldings .
Those metal tabs are bent round them, they're not going anywhere.
@@ScottRods cool I hope so Dave
I can't find your video of the door glass install. I would like to see it done before I put my driver's window in.
There should be a inside trim ring same shape of the window all the windows would have this same trim
In a perfect world, yes, hehehe.
The front window would be a two trim piece with a center peice
I have a plan for the centre.
Dave,where did you get your glass rubber kit from, Amazon? Did you make a template for you glass and have it cut out at Glass Shop ? Thanks
Yes, Amazon for the rubber seal. I was lucky that I only needed a U Channel seal that goes round the glass.

@@ScottRods Thanks for info, appreciate it.
What size is the U channel?

Sorry to point out ur massive leak that's not really a leak. U kno. Ur car better than us that proves it lol
Is that what you were talking about yesterday, or is there another leak?
I seen a drip under the car when it was in gear looked like it was coming from the rear tranny seal. And it only seemed to leak while the drive shaft was spinning. It was while you were working on the brake with the. Back wheel off
@@brentcrawford7609 Ok, I'll check again, but I don't have anything lying on the garage floor.
@@ScottRods ok it would've been in the driveway
@@brentcrawford7609 Nah, just some brown stains from water.
