thomastractorsvc Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 on my truck they were riveted in with some special flat face rivets, when I replaced them I used special automotive adhesive made for that purpose.I cut and bent the window channel and made sure it would fit, then glued everything and installed, held with some spring clamps after about an hour or so I installed the window assembly and rolled the window up as tight as it could go and let dry overnight.

thomastractorsvc Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 BTW the squeegee part on the lower window are held on by screws, I had one that I could get out and went to the ACE hardware and bought similar tiny screws and drilled and installed the little screws.

rustydog Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks, Rob, I knew I could count on you for an answer!!....will do my best. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32969-door-glass-felts/#findComment-209134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 This is the glue I used, I got it at Oreillys about $7 a tube, I bought a couple tubes used it for some other stuff on the truck, and to install the rubber gasket around both doors.I bought my window channel and door gasket from Jim Carter Chevrolet, I took my remnants over there and were able to match them up, I bought a sun visor pad (about 1" size difference), the window channel, squeegee, weather strip and some small odds and ends. Back in the day there were only a few manufactures of that kind of stuff so most of it is very similar or the same. About half the cost elsewhere, if you need something let me know and I check for you if they need to see something it to match up.

Superdog Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 if I remember right,they originally used little screws to hold it in.Last one I did,I used R model stuff and trimmed to fit. Didn't have the chrome bead,but worked for me. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32969-door-glass-felts/#findComment-209161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 yup, had little screws, if you use the wrong one that the head is too big it will chip the glass, trust me lol. I guess you could probably rivet them on. and the chrome beaded stuff doesn't seem to last like it use to, few years of mine outside and its all rusty, gonna use the generic black stuff next time Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32969-door-glass-felts/#findComment-209178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 on the door glass run channel up around the top of the window there was little clips that had burrs on them that the channel snapped into. I usually just glue it in there with weatherstrip adhesive. the window garnish or roll up wipers were screwed on to the door and the inside garnish moulding Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32969-door-glass-felts/#findComment-209268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Rob...I haven't gotten my door rubber weatherstripping yet or for the side cowl....any lines on these items?? thx...rustyI got all my door stuff from that Jim Carter Chevrolet (old Chevy trucks), I tried the other people that is posted and I had no luck in dealing with them. On the items that he said he did have it was really expensive and when I was asking him questions seemed like I was bothering him.Just spent a few minutes going through my records and found the receipt with part numbers, as you can see they are reasonably priced. >>Click on the PDF file to open<<jim carter.pdfBTW I did not use the 3m adhesive on that truck, used it for something else and used the stuff from Oreilly's when I did the assembly Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
