Windshield/Rear glass install tips

[Aar1064]

Well thanks to everyone here, I think I have everything I need to do this right. This will be done in the next month or so so I'll post the results.

One question though. Regarding placement of glass in relation to the moulding, should it be flush with roof?

Thanks for the help

If you hold the trim up there prior to putting the windows in you'll get an idea of where the glass goes.  If I recall correctly it's about 3/16" to 1/4" lower then the body.

The glass channel w/vinyl roof (my car) is 3/4" deep. My original glass is 9/32" (0.280") thick. Next, it would depend on the thickness of the butyl tape you are using. 5/16" butyl tape will compress to a smaller height. I agree with Cody...the glass should sit not more but close to 1/4" below the roof line.

Ok. I'll be sure and check before installation.
