I used one of the tools SOME - it worked OK on some sections of the rear
window seal but not so good in corners... The best tool I had was some
pop-sicle sticks. The wood is rounded on the ends and soft enough to break
before damaging the seal. They worked well both inside and outside for
seating the glass in the seal.
There's another trick - on the windshield the glass goes in the seal then the
glass/seal assembly goes into the cab. The back is opposite. The seal goes in
the cab, then the glass goes in the seal, then the retaining strip. Use LOTS
of lubricant. I used one of the "personal lubricants" (K-Y) - doesn't dry too
fast and washes off easily. Definately a two person job but not too tough.
Good luck,

<< Truckers,
Do I have to buy the window seal tool to install my back window? This is
the seal with the little additional
strip that goess into a groove in the seal. I've taken them out before but
never put a new one back in.
How do you guys do it?

Also, anybody got a rear bumper and brackets for sale that will fit my
truck. I would like a painted or
SS bumper as they they did't use chrome in 1953. (Korean War?)
Thanks,
Bob
