I don't normally hang out here with you guys with the '
new' trucks!
You've made the right start by using a Steele rubber.
Add to the fact your trims are perfect the install
should be fairly straight forward.
First and foremost get a friend to help out.
Fit your new rubber to the glass and leave it over night to allow it to take a 'set'
Then install your trims making sure they're fully seated in the rubber.
Put the cord in the rubber starting from bottom centre.
Wet the rubber with a mild water/dish soap solution.
Don't use too much soap or it'll be
too slippy!
Lift the glass into place in the aperture,do not try to lip any of it in at this time.
Make sure it's centred correctly.
Have your assistant hold the assembly in place while you pull the cord drawing the lip up and over the pinch weld.
Try and pull the cord at 90degrees to the pinchweld as you go.
Do both left and right sides 'til you come round the bottom corners and up the 'A' posts a couple of inches.
Try not to let the window rise up as you do this.
Gently pull the glass down to ensure it's seated correctly along the lower edge,once you are happy continue up each side and round the top corners,having your assistant follow you round applying slight pressure as you go.
Once you have the rubber lip over the pinch weld all the way round,gently slap the glass to seat if fully into the recess. (Remove any jewellery rings etc. beforehand.)
Don't get too aggressive but firm slaps with an open hand usually does the trick.
Finally....good luck!
