Poor rear window "seal"
A couple of weeks ago, I put the rear glass in my 37 ford. I was disappointed from the time I opened the package becuase the seal was neither molded to the shape of the glass nor did it fit well. It was loose just when I tried to wrap it around the glass.
Well, I get it installed, and the seal lip around the outside (which isn't very thick) isn't sealing against the body well at all. Around the corners, it's not even touching the body. I been sidetracked since then, and I wanted to see what happened over time. It's gotten worse.
So, how do I fix this? Is there some type of glue I can use to hold the lip down? I tried some weatherstrip adhesive, but it didn't work too well. Since it's a "contact" adhesive, it was hard keeping the mating surfaces away from each other.
Suggestions?Andy
