Hey all,
Doing targa bar rust repair and re-vinyling and want to re-do the rear window, too. What's the best source for a lower exterior seal for the rear window -- the faster the better? I'll call GPR now, but am wondering if you guys have any better ideas, Bay Area local is a good thing.... Thanks! pete |

Oh, and could it be put in after the window or is that a nightmare/not possible? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) It doesn't look like it'd be easy...

That rear seal doesn't really seal anything other than a little water and dirt from resting on the actual window seal. Oh, also stops some muck from getting into the firewall area, but not much.
Should be less than $40, GPR, yeah, great place to get it. Yep. Easy install after all is put together. Consider it a thumb exercise. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

right dan. it covers the front edge of the engine cover more so than sealing the window.

I used 3M window sealer from AutoZone for $15 on my rear 914 window. It comes coiled and is black and sticky. Worked fine.

Yeah, Rob, that's the stuff to use to install the windows. It's actaully called "Window Weld" from 3M. Great stuff.
He's talking about the rear-window-to-engine-lid seal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
