Mike Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 On the B Model inside the cab, between the two windshields, there should be a piece of molding with a metal, painted bracket. This bracket is held on by two screws. Just wondering what does these two screws, screw into? Is there a metal piece that goes between the rubber, between the windshields?

eddeere Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Going from memory I think there is a metal strip behind this . Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44242-windshield-molding-question/#findComment-326542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 There is a thin vertical metal strip between the two windshields. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Mike Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Unfortunately I did not see what it looked like. Just wondering if I take the painted piece, maybe I could duplicate the piece that goes between the two pieces of glass inside the rubber molding. I wondered if the piece might have been round with screw holes.

j hancock Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi Mike, It has been a day or two since I had one opened up but the strip was a piece of flat stock. It was approx. 1/8"-3/16" thick by about 1/2" wide or so. It was welded into the cab top and bottom. It seemed to be lined up with the pinch weld that went around the window opening where the various cab metal parts come together. The rubber window gasket has a groove that lines up to the pinch weld and this center strip so there is some support for the gasket when the glass is being installed.

Mike Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks J, looks like I'll have to write this info down so I can remember. Would be nice if we had a index on BMT so we could find information like this.

thomastractorsvc Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I did a post on replacing a B windshield couple years ago I talked about the strip and had measurements of the replacement strip.
