BODY IB-41
Cut off any excess channel at joint. Leave at least 6
inches of each end of channel out of rubber until rear
glass is in place (fig. 96).
NOTE: The installation of this window is made
from the inside of the job with door in closed
position. The use of a mixture of liquid soap
and water or some other type rubber lubricant
applied to the rubber will make the installation
of this channel as well as the other fille r sec­
tions much easier to install.
3. Set lower edge of sliding glass (front section) in run
channel with upper edge of glass back of joint in
weatherstrip rubber. Place paint scraper or simi­
lar object on top of glass and into channel - pry down
and push top of glass into channel. Push glass fo r­
ward as far as possible (fig. 97).
4. Set lower edge of stationary glass in weatherstrip
between the run channel and inside edge of rubber.
Keep rear edge of glass ahead of weatherstrip at
rear of window opening. Using the tool shown in
Figure 98 or similar instrument work glass into the
weatherstrip channel.
5. Work top of stationary glass into weatherstrip chan­
nel in same manner as the bottom.
6. Use rubber mallet to tap glass back to the weather­
strip. Work into weatherstrip channel using paint
scraper or similar tool and rubber mallet (fig. 99).
Tap glass firm ly into weatherstrip.
7. From the outside of the door work the run channel
ends into weatherstrip rubber with the paint scraper
and mallet handle to tap them back. Channel ends
are shown in Figure 96.
8. Install heavy rubber wedge between run channel and
inside edge of weatherstrip from front edge of sta­
tionary glass at top around to front edge at bottom.
The round edge enters the rubber and the ribbed side
goes next to the run channel.
9. Install center weatherstrip on front edge of station­
ary glass with plush side next to sliding glass. Ap­
ply 3-M Weatherstrip Adhesive or its equivalent to
the inside of this channel before installing. Pushing
each end of weatherstrip on before pushing up the
center will eliminate the ends catching in the rubber
and give it a crowding effect at top and bottom for
tighter seal.
