If you can come here and get them installed correctly how they are....I will be impressed.

anybody ever have this problem?
to clarify its not the thickness but the length....

its like its an inch too long. I do not understand.

oh and please excuse the overillustrated frustration of the first post.

Is there anything I can do to get it to shrink?
all split glass is the same size correct?

Send that junk back to CIP and get new rubber from WCM or Wolfsberg West. I had the same problem with CIP. The stuff I got from WBW fit perfect.

thats what I figured Eric. :? . ...You should have seen me throwing a little crybaby fit yesterday. I even tried to freeze one...
yea....that didn't work. funny thing is I only bought them last year to get my order up high enough to get free shipping.... and the rear glass seal I bought with them for a 66 singlecab was too short..... but at least I was able to heat that one up and make it fit. I got a rear oval glass with a seal... maybe I'll just cut that stupid bar out :wink:

Well since you are an OKIE now, you could just do what I did for when I need an emergency one, and cut the seal, wrap it around the window, put on a gang of super glue and let it dry...then install it....but that's some Folsom player shit right there.

If you buy your rubber from WW, you will have no problems. 8)

If your dad would have bought a rubber I wouldn't have any problems either.

Bam, give Wolfsburg West a call and ask for zwitter rubber. There is in fact a size difference between the early split and the zwitter rear glass.

Yep, Zwitter back window rubber is the only split rubber with the groove for moulding.

.....yea I knew about the groove thing but the glass is a different size?
I don't care about the groove I'm not going to put the trim in the seals.
I thought all split glass was the same size though?

So Eric....doesn't that make you hindu now?

Huh? You saying that zwitter rear glass and non-zwitter split rear glass is different? How can that be, the body stampings are the same???

I'm with the 'no' crowd.

I tried to install the original zwitter small logo sekurit glass pieces that Bam has now in John's old '51 when we were putting it back together. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the original glass wouldn't work with the brand new rubber. A quick phone call to WW and the difference was confirmed. "No" crowd?

problem solved. i cut the stupid bar out... :lol:

this is interesting though....if Derrick is right thats something i didn't know.

I think I may do it the folsom way for now...
