Flush mounted glass what are you doing for seals ?

[cluxford]

As the title suggests curious to see what brands those who have flush mount front and rear screens are using.

I have welded a bead inside the frames and will seal with sealant / glue to the frame, but then need to run the rubber seal on the outside to tidy it up, can anyone share what / where they got a rubber seal to fit

Thanks in advance

Are you using stock glass or the oversize glass? I just installed the glass kit from Glass Innovations. I think that is what the company is called.

It was a pain making there rubbers work that came in the kit but it turned out nice.

I would do it different on the next car.

Go here and you will see some pictures of it.

Thanks, yeah standard glass, welded a bead into the frame to remove the gap from the chrome trim...

How much of a gap did you leave between the glass and body. I would make it look like the truck flush glass. They have a rubber that slips on the side of the glass and when you set the glass it will fill the area between the glass edge and body. Like the new cars .

Here is the type we used that came in the kit. This is the small one and we used the next size. Sorry dont have a piece that we used. The hardest part is going around the curves.

I use a J-channel molding for the flush mount glass kits. It has an adhesive in the channel where it attachs to the glass and comes in multiple widths up to 1 inch. It is much easier to work with vs. what comes in the flush mount glass kit.

I use universal molding that comes on big rolls from Safelite, call your local Safelite glass distributor,they sell all the materials you need for glass installation

Thanks everyone, that's perfect, exactly what I was after...

How does this rubber fit around the corners,,does it curl up. I tried the wider rubber 3/4" and had hell around the curves. It wanted to wrinkle up and not lay flat. Do you have pictures of it installed? Did you have to "V" cut the back side to make it fit?

I have not had any issues with curves. Key thing is to tape the entire molding down with blue or green painters tape overnight to let everything set. On actual corners I cut the molding to make a 45.

i think it would look better with no seal if you can pull it off... alot of OEM cars these days dont have a seal..

Yes I agree with you 100%. After doing the red 69 above I would do it different. It looks alot better like that. But we bought the glass as a 2nd thought. I would build the car body around the glass.

Is that factory glass or oversize glass?
