Aust Hardtop, putting stainless onto 1/4 glass

70Hardtop said
Hi all, this post is similar to the one from Dodgedartconv however I need to know if anyone has experience in getting the stainless strip (which holds the fuzzy weather strip) onto the glass. Mine is very tight and just won't stay there, keeps popping out. The glass setting tape or whatever is inside the groove but it is not tape but looks like a plastic liner. And it is tough because it was soaking in turps (mineral turpentine) for about 20 min and didn't harm it at all.

My first attempt I used SicaFlex polyurethane in the groove to try and get the glass to bond in there firmly but that was aborted as the glass would just not go in all the way. That's why all the turps, as I spent over an hour cleaning the polyurethane off the glass and out of the groove.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You need 2/32 glass setting tape to properly set the chrome moulding to the glass. I got some from Restoration Specialties.
First, remove the chrome moulding, clean up inside the moulding and the glass where it installs. Then, mould the setting tape over the glass where the chrome moulding goes and the press the moulding onto the glass. I used a rubber mallet to lightly tap the chrome moulding in place and then, use a sharp blade to trim the excess setting tape. Works great and is very easy to do! I also used it on the bottom chrome piece of my vent glass .

Hope this helps!!
