1952 Chevy Bel Air - The Amsoil/Street Rodder Road Tour '09 - Tech

With the trim in place all that's left is to clean the new glass.

As with the windshield panels, the rear glass is first put into the rubber; the only difference is now there are three pieces to deal with.

Holding all the glass, keeping the rubber in place and installing the rope at the same time takes a coordinated effort.

Installing the corner pieces requires some finesse when pulling the rope around the tight corners as well as pressure on the glass pushing it towards the center of the car.

Like the front dividers, those in the rear attach from the inside through holes in the rubber.

There was a lot of rubber to replace in our Chevy, including the weatherstripping around the doors.

Replacing battered vent window seals will do a lot to cut down on wind noise and to stop water leaks.

New trunk weatherstripping was also installed. Improvements to the design of the seals and the quality of the rubber make these better than the originals.

SoffSeal can provide a host of other rubber products including the gaskets under the tail and backup lights.
