Fred, I don't know if the rubber has been changed, but when Moss was =
selling it a few years ago the instructions that came with the channel =
rubber said to wipe it with gasoline to cause it to swell. That did =
absolutely nothing to the one I bought. I took the rubber and the glass =
and frame to my local glass shop and they installed it and saved me a =
lot of hassle (only charging $7, too). Don't forget to put the new =
nylon guides into the frame before installing the rubber and glass.
=20
The shattered glass probably resulted from the vertical scratches left =
in the glass from raising and lowering it against the two screws that =
attach the door pull. If they are too long, they'll scratch it, causing =
surface stress risers that can eventually cause the tempered glass to =
shatter. Happened to me. The problem is the sheet metal screws =
attaching the door pull can pull out of the metal, enlarging the holes. =
It's hard to find a screw short enough but large enough diameter to fit =
the new holes. I modified my door to take machine screws, which are =
much easier to find in the right length and diameter, and stronger to =
boot.

Listers,

I am attempting to replace the shattered glass in the driver's side door =
on my BJ8. The rubber strip that goes into the window channel has been =
placed in the channel. =20
=20
I cannot get the glass to slide into the rubber and channel. I wet both =
the rubber and the glass with a mixture of water and dish soap but the =
glass will not go into the rubber/channel. The glass rattles around in =
the channel without the rubber so I know the channel is the right size. =
I think the rubber is intended to provide a tight fit into the channel. =
However, with the rubber in place and with soap and water, the glass =
simply will not go in.
=20
Any ideas on how to get this fitted properly? I am afraid to use a dead =
blow hammer on the channel.

Thanks,
