frankendodge Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I took my old windows out of the runners they sit in today.I had to apply heat to get them out. Can anybody tell me where I can get replacement rubber? The stuff that was in there musta been sticky on both sides it sure held those windows good.

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Almost any glass shop should be able to sell you a roll of: glass setting tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorDog Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I used this stuff. I put it on one side of the glass side first and folded around to the other side. Then removed the backing before sliding it in the regulator channel. I had to use some mineral spirits to lube it up and use a rubber mallet to get it seated in the channel. http://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Scotch-2-in-x-1-33-yds-Permanent-Double-Sided-Extreme-Mounting-Tape-414-48WID-DCSF/206565452 Razor knife to trim the excess if you want.

gramps1951 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 use what plymouthy adams said it is the correct product not what warrior dog used I was a auto glass tech for 24 years glass setting tape comes in diferent thickness and diferent compounds it is a press fit not adhesive that bonds the window carrier to the glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried glass setting tape 4 times before I had to go to a bonding agent. Nothing would hold the glass in over time and the the glass kept poppoing out.

A severely rusted unit will need to be cleaned up and surface sealed for the glass setting tape to be effective. ALWAYS use a mineral spirit to provide a good lube that will evaporate rather quickly and make the bond. Again, clean and snug... If you feel you need to use the bonding agent..again, clean & coat the rise....keep this bonding agent in back of your mind if ever needing to remove it in the future. Releasing it may need be a in depth process. Do allow it to full cure by placing aide and not handling till cured...there is always another way to skin the cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps1951 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 you may also need a thicker glass setting tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Tim and gramps: I actually had a professional do the install. Thicker tape was tried, and considering the condition of my truck there was little to no rust on the parts for them to be thinned metal or distorted. We did all your tricks and the glass would still work it's way out. So bonding agent was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughForrest Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I just did the windows on my truck with proper glass setting tape and it went together nicely, but the guy who sold me the tape at the old-school glass shop said sometimes he'll use a couple of dots of weatherstrip adhesive on the tape. Said if the fit is a bit sloppy because one thickness of tape is too thin and doesn't grip, and the next thicker is too fat, he uses the thinner tape+ w/s adhesive.
