Steele Rubber Products all the way!

The set I got from Roberts seem to fit pretty well on mine.

I just did mine with a new seal from Steele. It fit perfectly - no complaints.

I went with this one because it was fully vulcanized. The seal sold from Roberts is described in their catalog as "splice together type" which did not sound fun.

i bought one form bernbaum and tried it....i ended up throwing it out (because it didnt fit well and was the splice type) and buying one from steele which is a formed one piece set up....went in in 10mins without any problems.

Did you use the window welt under the frame on the inside? If so what did you use.

Could you give me some hints on how to install the front windows? I did my rear windows without too much problems (including the rear corners). When you install the front window do both pieces of glass need to be in the gasket, or can you put in one side most of the way and then put in the second glass and finish the installation (if that makes sense). Any help would be appreciated. The front glass is my next big installation.

I didn’t use any window welt when I put it in. And yes you need to have both pieces of glass in the seal to install them. You install them all at once...just make sure you use a heavy enough string so it won’t break to pull the seal lip out to fit in the body...I learned that the hard way and had to restart.

[DollyDodge]

Thanks for the info. I have some good cord I used for the rear windows. How many people did you have help? Seems like having both those pieces of glass in the gasket would make it a bit cumbersome to handle.

[52b3b Joe]

My dad and I did it...one inside pushing the on the glass outwards and one outside carefully pulling the cord and working the seal out over the lip.

[DollyDodge]

Hmm, sounds easy!

Last one I put in I used a length of plain auto electrical wire to help with the seal.

interesting. the windshield rubber i got from roberts about 3 years ago was a one-piece unit, and was not particularly difficult to install. maybe he changed suppliers.

i installed my one-piece unit by myself. as noted, both pieces of glass need to be installed at once. i took my time so that i wouldn't break the glass, but i was able to get them in.
