I've got the small back window in my 58 TF truck and just got a new window
rubber to replace the rock hard, leaky one that's in there now. It is a
single length of molding with a separate lock bead. The one that's in there
has the ends meeting at the bottom of the glass where it's been gooped with
RTV to seal it. Seems to me it would be better to have the ends meet at the
top of the window instead. I'll admit that the rubber leaks but not where
the ends meet. What is the WOTL on this issue? I'm never going to have a
concourse vehicle but I'm trying to keep it reasonably period correct. Was
there a factory approved mating area or can one get continuous molding
where this is a non-issue?
