1929-U Rear Window

[chetbrz]

Anyone have any experience replacing the center rear window in the 29U.  I don't believe there was any gasket.  Is it just black silicon RTV could use some  suggestions.

 

Thanks, Chet...

Here are two pictures.  The car is wood framed with metal skins.

when I did my 32 PA  just left the window in    could not figure how to get it out or was not sure what rubber molding to put back-----if it is not leaking don't touch it

As you may be able to tell from the pictures the window was removed prior to painting the car.  All the glass is back in except for this rear window.  It had to be removed, it was held in place with glazing compound.  Also I redid the wood framing and I couldn't accomplish that with the window in place.  So I guess that ship has sailed.  

 

Any other suggestions appreciated.  Tks, Chet...

Chet , did you check with glass company . There are double face mastic tapes they use . Can easily form the corners and set glass on/in .

Hi Tom,

 

I didn't know they had double face mastic tapes for glass.  I'll check into that.  I was thinking of gluing in a 1/8" rubber gasket and then gluing the glass but the double sided tape sounds like the right stuff for the job.

 

BTW...  Is there a setting for this forum to bring the most recent post to the top when you open a thread.  I couldn't find any settings for default display.
