Rear glass install

Howdy quick question. rear window 72 C10. I have the stainless trim seal and the trim. Dose the trim go in the seal before or after the glass is in the trim. I know it all has to go in truck at one time . Just wondering the order of assembly. Thanks

Re: Rear glass install

Trim goes in the seal first.

Re: Rear glass install

Lay the glass on a table or pair of saw horses. Fit the rubber around the glass, then put the trim in. Run a string all around the rubber where it will fit over the flange of the truck. Then put several pieces of masking tape to hold the trim in the rubber.

Once you get the glass in, you will be able to pull the tape off.

Re: Rear glass install

kcsa75 has you going in the right direction, once you get the glass ready to go get some dish soap and wipe it around the inside part of the rubber[the grove that fits onto the pinchweld] and apply it like it is free. That will help every thing slippery and slide well.
Once you get the rubber all soaped up fit it in the hole and start pulling on the rope. That action will fold the rubber over the pinchweld as the rope is pulled. As your starting the rope pulling [I like to have both ends of the rope meet in the middle at the bottom of the glass]you will need someone holding the glass from the outside putting a [very] little pressure on the glass right behind where the rope is being pulled.[That helps the window in over the pinchweld]
Now if you get to a corner and the rope gets hard to pull, you may not be setting square over the window opening and the whole assm may need to shift over to one side or the other to square the thing up.
Same goes for the top once you get there you may need to tap down on the glass to help it seat down on the bottom of the pinchweld if it has not already done so. This may be way too much information than you wanted or needed on this but I'm just trying to help. Jim
