Replacing rear window glass 1937 Ford
Hello guy's! It's been awhile since I've been on the Barn. On my 1937 sedan what kind of job is it to replace the rear window glass?

Re: Replacing rear window glass 1937 Ford
I'm getting ready to do the same thing on my '35 fordor sedan, so I am all ears on this one. My rear window is fogged up in about 1/3 of the glass area and I need better visibility for safe driving. I had the garnish molding off but the perimeter of the glass seems like it is bonded in place against the opening in the body. I would prefer not to break the original glass so it can be used as a pattern to cut the new glass.

On the 37 remove the rear garnish and then use a box cutting knife to cut the gasket on the inside. Have a helper to catch the glass as you push it out from the inside. Clean the area of the opening to get all the old rubber and sealant from the body. Place the new glass in the new gasket and then put a small diameter rope into the front groove of the gasket. Have a friend hold the glass to the opening from the inside. Use the rope the pull the gasket forward and into the opening. Once in the opening make sure it is fully in place. Use masking tape around the opening and then use the Napa sealer to seal the gasket to the body. Then go inside the car and use sealer between the gasket and the glass. You can use masking tape on the glass or just use a razor blade for cleanup after the sealer dries. If I've left anything else I'm sure someone will add to my comments. |
