After hearing not to leave any extra rubber because it will shrink, i
started by jamming as much rubber as possible as I went along placing the
rubber in my '53 corner windows. I then was able to get the glass in
without too much problem, but I had gotten the rubber in there so tight that
I couldn't spread the opening at all by hand. I could barely get it to move
by prying with a screwdriver. It took me several hours to get about 2
inches of the lock bead, and I found myself jabbing the rubber where it
shows :( I decided later to take it out, and the inside of the rubber in
the groove for the lock bead looked horrible. I think I should cut the
rubber off some more, to make it looser so that the lock groove will open
more. What if I just place it in the cab normally, then where the ends meet
I'll squish it in just a tad? What do you use so you don't wreck the
outside of the rubber? The tool I got from Chevy Duty leaves marks each
time I dig it in.
