Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately everything I've seen shows the rubber in position on the pinch welds, then the glass already installed and the locking strip going in.

I'm wondering if I need to get better rubber? Everyone seems to like/prefer the Steele rubber. Mine os from Carter, and seems awfully stiff to me. Perhaps I should order a set from Steele and see if that makes things easier.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
