Re: Rear glass installation 1938 Pick up
This is how I put mine in. Put the gasket on the glass (use a small bit of sealer in the gasket and run a bead around the inside of the opening if you want) and fit it into the hole. Use card shims to adjust the window position in the hole. Then put the trim piece in start the bottom screws then start the top screws. Check it all looks good and even on the outside. Tighten up screws on the inside til firm. Put in the 2 end screws.( clean off sealer that’s all over everything) Leave it out in the sun (heat) for a few hours and retighten screws.
The back of my cab was crushed and repaired so my hole was not perfect so I went with the sealer because the glass did not have even pressure with a few places it did not even touch. For me if I cranked it down it would have cracked the glass.
