I have seen it done it both ways in mostly videos, anyone have a recommendation?

I have a 54 PU and will be installing the factory 54 stainless trim.

Thanks

I've done it both ways, no preference. Just whatever the job required.

I always use a soap/water mix or glass cleaner to install glass. It definitely helps to eliminate friction and rubber installs easier onto metal and glass into rubber.

Ru-Glyde is what I've seen some glass shops use.

posey, please give us a progress report on your installation.

That seems to be a particularly difficult installation on a 1954 truck..

I gave up on it, on my '54 Suburban; but, I will try to do it on my '54 pickup.
