Vent Glass: Installation

1992 GMC Rally G1500, 4.3 ZSECTION Installation
  1. Cut the new piece of glass channel filler 2" (51 mm) longer than required.
  2. Position the filler (soap stone side away from the glass) evenly around and over the edge of the glass that will be inserted in the channel. Press the filler firmly onto the edge of the glass to ensure a good bond (usually this is done with a mechanical window press). Squeeze together the doubled ends of the filler which project beyond the edge of the glass.
  3. Brush the inner channel with soap solution.
    NOTE: Do not use grease or oil.
  4. Press the glass and filler into the channel until firmly seated.
  5. Trim off excess filler material around, and at the end of the channel.
