the black rubber window trim that replaces teh chrome does not cover as much window as teh metal trim. this windsheild has UV stains at teh edge where the chrome once covered. the smaller rubber trim also exposes the glue bead and the back of teh interior trim (the ugly side)
Modern cars have a black painted border on teh glass. this is teh FRIT primer/paint. I used teh width of the foam FRIT applicator as a guide . dont forget to leave an unpainted notch for teh VIN. the pinch weld on teh car also gets a special primer for teh urethane window glue. DONT TRY TO USE A HAND OPERATED CAULKING GUN FOR THE URETHANE UNLESS YOU HAVE ARMS LIKE POPEYE! this stuff is thick and HARD AS HELL to squeeze out. Attached image(s)

I was going to set the window by myself when a freind dropped by. normally I hate uninvited drive by visits but this day's visitor was an angel sent by god to save me from myself. all my prep work would have been ruined if I had tried this alone.
the rubber trim gets set onto the window before you stick it. 914rubber sendds you the rubber trim with glue already inside teh groove. the frit primer helps that glue stick better. I did the frit border but also primed the edge of teh glass here you can see the UV staining I mentioned. this window is also pitted but still OK "servicable" as the owner put it. I would have liked to do this job with a new glass Attached image(s)

Nice work Sean! There are many guys here that have never seen any of this stuff beyond what is on the surface. It takes alot of skill and patients. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

thankyou for the kind words. I have learned so much from the 914club and now 914 world community. as I go beyond that I enjoy giving a little back. My hope is that I can help ya'll enjoy your cars as much as I enjoy mine.
interestingly, the hell hole was good but the left mini hell hole is a bit of a mess. since the car is electric, I passivated the rust, treat4ed and coated but did not patch the engine shelf |
