I have the butyl tape, trim clips and rubber trim, all from 914 Rubber. The aluminum trim, which is black, has been refurbished. Where the glass sets has been cleaned, sanded and primered. I have an expert coming to help me but I cannot see how the rubber trim works. Are the aluminum trim and the rubber trim mutually exclusive? I don’t remember taking off any rubber when the window was removed and the rubber along the bottom of where the window rests seems different. Help.

One more thing: temperature. You need everything to be relatively warm to get the butyl tape to squish and spread out (and get a good adhesion and waterproof seal). It can help to park the car in the warm sun after you do the initial glass installation and then gently but firmly push down all around the glass.
