On a small vertical window like a 914 back glass, 5/16" even on a "down to metal" install. You just need to be careful on the corners not to stretch it thin in the corners. Patience and a little back pressure as you lay the corner, it'll be all good.
A glass shop would use 3/8" tape 9 out of 10 times just out of habit on a clean metal install. As I climb into the Wayback machine, it seems to me I did often use thinner tape on nearly vertical installations (i.e. pickup truck back windows) or they would sit up too high. 1 beer for McMark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) 5/16" is the right call. |
