rear hatch window installation<br>Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2011 22:10:02
GMT<br><br>Hi Phil,<br>&nbsp;I have replaced the windscreen to my GT, though
not the rear hatch glass.<br>&nbsp;To install the windscreen, one first
installs the rubber, then puts the glass into the rubber. &nbsp;It's my guess
that the rear hatch glass is installed similarly--roping the glass to the
rubber, not rubber to the metal hatch. <br>&nbsp;Windscreen installation was
not difficult. I used RuGlide lubricant, the stuff that tire installers use.
Dishwashing liquid is said to be almost as good, and that is what I used for
the quarter light gasket installation.<br>&nbsp;Though the glass was not
difficult, the trim pieces are tough to get in. Allow far more time than you
can possibly imagine the job will take, and be prepared to walk away from the
job in frustration. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;It's great when complete, but the last,
seemingly simple, step is tough.<br>Bob<br><br>---------- Original Message

hatch window installation<br>Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 21:11:18 GMT<br><br>To the
List: &nbsp;&nbsp;I'm in the process of installing the rear hatch window in
my<br>67' GT. &nbsp;Are there any suggestions for stabilizing the gasket to
the window so<br>it can be handled in the next step -- roping it into the
hatch? &nbsp;The gasket<br>seems a little big for the window and it is
difficult to get it to fit around<br>the window evenly. &nbsp;I know the
gasket is a little big so that the window will<br>have "float" for expansion,
etc &nbsp;All my wrestling seems to go for naught.<br>Wide masking tape seems
ineffective. &nbsp;Any suggestions? &nbsp;&nbsp;TIA, Phil Bacon,
