Seal Around Rear Quarter Windows
I'm installing rear quarter windows and I have a question about the installation. I understand there is no weatherstrip adhesive on the outside part of the black seal where it contacts the car body but should I put weatherstrip adhesive where the chrome window frame sits in the inside part of the black seal?
It seems like I should but I want to check with everybody first. Thanks, nick 1970 911 E (restoring) |

The seal fit is very tight-about an hour per and sore thumbs to install- so it should not need it and the half dried glue will make high spots. Do the flat side first and roll the bead into the groove, have fun.

Inner seals (glass) are easy. The outers are at least worth a pair of sore thumbs. No glue, no weatherstrip adhesive and no silicone.

no glue.
I wrapped mine around as best I could, then let sit in very hot water in the tub for an hour (I am not married) and then a hair dryer made the job quite easy.

What?!?!

Any new "tricks" on this task? I just spent about an hour and got half way on ONE window. My thumbs and fingers are toast.
I'm using a small Orangewood stick to help roll the seam into the groove approx half-inch at a time. Thought about using a little dish soap but I just know that would turn bad. I can see it know...."Almost there...a little more to go.... just about done...." and then the window would slip out of my soapy hands and crash to the garage floor, shattering. That would cost me a LOT of beer. You know, for the anger/sadness treatment. So, if anyone has any "Best Practice" tips, I would appreciate it.

Ron....dude... I did do a search. That's how I found this old one. At least I didn't start a new thread. Some older ones said "Yep, that gasket sucks. Sore thumbs, but you will get it" or several threads about the fixed 1/4 windows and the cord trick.
Now, either help with my windows or post some hot chick pics! Or sumpthin'!  When's your next BIG ride?

Shaun, I was wondering if you put the whole window or just the gasket in the water. Sounds like you put the whole window. I would think that if it were just the gasket then it would cool before you could get finished.
Also, I don't trust myself with a screwdriver for this task. I'm using an orangewood stick. Thanks.

Don, definitely put the whole thing in hot water, yes, a screwdriver means you have to be be very careful. I took the slightest edge off the corners with a grinder, and it worked great. Just be very careful and "feel" the rubber.
