Default Re: rear window installation on 30 CC pickup

Some important techniques:
-Super glue gasket, 1- 2" smaller than glass perimeter. Glue only to itself, not to the glass!
-put seam at the middle of the top of the window.
-start fasteners at the bottom corners first, position carefully, and not too snug. Then do the top corners.
-glue lock washers, or star washers to each nut before you start.
-Don't tighten until all fasteners are in place, align first,
-I taped the glass to the frame, may not be the best idea.
-Extra hands help to position and hold the window in position.
- prime, and paint the frame, and cab mount first!
- used a box wrench to tighten the nuts where possible.
- floor was out when we did this on a 34 ccpu.
- we used ss fasteners.
Let me know how this turns out, and trial fit the glass first, and again with the gasket , and again with the gasket and glass nested in the frame!
