Hello all I am a new member out of Wichita KS. I have a 69 Mach 1 that I am in the final stages of having restored, new full quarters etc.
Saturday I decided to tackle installing the rear glass. After reading a lot of good info on the net I decided to do it. I had the brand new seal by Scott Drake an I installed the new clips first etc. I used the rope method recommended and it worked awesome. I used 3m Weatherstripping adhesive inside the glass lip seal and inside the seal that seals around the inside. I then filled the gap around the glass seal and body after I installed the glass. I then fought with the chrome trim and it all seemed to work out pretty good. However, 3 days later tonight I decided to rinse it off and make sure I had no leaks, well each bottom corner leaks pretty good. With that said any ideas where I went wrong? Did I use the wrong adhesive? It was from Oreillys and the part number was like 83011 or 8 something. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane
