Hi All,
I am working on reinstalling the glass on an early 914 door - the door style where the plastic button rides on the curved track. It has not been in since I bought the car as it has been all top down driving and parking in safe places. I have the window (pic below) and, as expected, there are three parts that should be bonded/glued to it - the rear, bottom, corner glide that fits into the rear channel, the bit at the bottom in the middle where it bolts to the button/slide, and the front, stainless strip with the 4 little wheels. The problem is that only the bit at the bottom in the middle is glued on. The rear corner piece I can figure out as it only fits on one way. I’d appreciate any guidance on a few questions: 1) where on the front edge does the stainless strip attach? Does it line up at the top of the glass or the bottom? Or is there a measurement from either top or bottom to position it? It looks like will need to be in the right place to ensure the whole window rides up an down without an binding. 2) I was planning on using black silicone sealant to attache the parts. Is that a good choice? As always - thank you very much! |

The scraper was originally a thin design. It was replaced with the 911 style later. Problem is that it creates more friction so it wants to pull out until it's worn and aged some.
We did make an "improved" version with a fuzzily on it. It just costs a little more. Good news is right now they are on sale til the end of the day. https://914rubber.com/late-outer-window-scr...eal-w-fuzzy-set This is the early profile - https://914rubber.com/early-outer-window-scraper-seal-set-1 Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

This is an early door - can I use the flocked late door strip? It does not look like the early door has the flocking looking at your site. Also, I have a '74 with one early and one late door (not the original setup, obviously). Are you willing to sell just one? |
