 Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 11:44 am Post subject: Pop-outs glass coming loose |
 |
|
When I open the pop-out windows on our '63 coupe and wiggle a bit with the glass the glass slides out of the chrome strip which is held in place with the 3 plastic inserts.
How can I prevent the glass dropping out while driving with the pop-outs open?
Is there supposed to be a rubber between the glass and the chrome strip? (Not present at this moment) or other solution?

I have the rubber showing on one of your last pictures in that thread (with the 3 plastic inserts visible), but no rubber between glass and the chrome strip.
(Side opposite to the plastic inserts).
Is there supposed to be one on that side? Or do I have to "glue" the window in the chrome strip?

Had some time to take pictures last weekend.
Windows are in the car, close perfectly, but when opened it is very easy to get the glass out of the chrome strip.
Closed
Open
Loose window

OK, Thank you, will try with some "putty" and see if it helps.

On my T-34 Ghia, I had the same issue upon installing the 1/4 windows. What I did was use some 3M window weld to "glue" the glass to the metal strip. Worked great, and I never had an issue with it again.

... i'll also have to try that.
My glass will fall out if open also. My solution was simply to never open them...

I have the car for years now and this was also for me the reason to never open them.
"Glued" them in now last week and I'm ready to test them this weekend.
