You need glass setting tape. It is a thin rubber strip that wraps around the glass edge and holds it tight into the channel. Your glass guy should have access to it. Otherwise you can get some from Restoration Specialties www.restorationspecialties.com

While on this topic, did all pilothouse trucks come with vent glass??? My 51 3/4 ton doesn't have any - probably ripped out at some time. Just trying to figure if I leave as is or need to do something to restore to original. Thanks.

There were 3 different cab options. The Standard cab had no vent glass in the doors and no rear corner glass. The Deluxe cab had both vent glass in the doors and the rear corner glass. The Custom cab also had vents and corner glass, and also had dual sun visors and electric wipers.

The doors can be converted between one solid glass to roll up glass with vent glass if you have all of the necessary pieces.
