I just got the rubber to replace my rear window in my 36 GMC low cab. Any tips from anyone who has done this before?

Two people and a lot of sopy water.If it has the zip strip you'll need the proper tool.The sopy water was in a spray bottle to help things slide better.

I took mine to an auto glass shop. They did it in no time flat while I drank coffee. Cost me less than trying to do it myself.

Yep we had the glass shop come to my shop, and install the front and rear glass. This was after we fooled around 3 times wit the back one. We bought a rubber for the back glass from Carter, and lo and behold it was junk and didnt fit the glass right. Our glass man and his help played around with it for about 45min, before I got out the one from Chevy Duty, which went right in. They used a suction cup to move the glass side to side and up and down. I think that tool made all the differance.

Hey fellas I guess you don't know about 36 windows having a frame with screws up till 1941 they had a pot metal frame holding in the window and rubber.

Best way is to have help hold the window with the glass and hold the frame up and put enough pressure to mark the rubber where you need to drill the holes for the frame screws to thru just make sure you have the window where it needs to be in relation to the opening then you can drill your holes thru the rubber and screw it in.

Thanks OLtrucks, got it in this weekend. Not the easiest thing, but not the hardest either. One down, many things to go.
