Hi. I bought corner window rubbers for my 52 GMC from Classic Truck Parts and the groove isn’t deep enough to fit properly. With it in, you can still see all the spot welds and there’s no way to get the bead in. They just seem way too small. Has anybody else had this problem and where did you get your rubbers that actually fit? Thanks in advance and sorry if this topic has been already covered repeatedly!

I bought all new glass, (back glass, corners, and windshield), and gaskets from LMC when I did my 51. Everything fit as it should.

If you can see the spotwelds, you may have cut the rubber too short. That rubber is pretty stiff when cold. The beads go in a lot easier if you can heat up the rubber seals prior to installing the glass.
