Installing glass

Shattered the window on the 1466 and plan on getting a different one from the salvage yard. Do you put the rubber on the frame first and slip the glass in, or do you put the rubber on the glass and fit the rubber onto the frame? The lip on the rubber is to the outside of the cab. The cab does not have a separate window frame so the glass mounts directly to the cab. Thanks for any help.

rubber first, then glass. There are some tricks to make it easier. do a search on auto glass installation.
 
Look closely at the rubber strip. Outside should have a thin strip that will pull out and make it easier to take old glass out and put new glass in. Not sure about getting the strip put back in, haven't got that far. Chris
 
Place the rubber around the glass first. Wrap string withing the groove of the rubber. Lube with soapy water. Place this assembly outside of the opening and pull on the ends of the string from inside the cab. It will roll the rubber in place. You'll need some sort of hooked screw driver for tweeking. Good luck
 
YA put the RUBBER IN THE OPENING FIRST . THERE IS A LIP IN THE RUBBER THAT YA PULLOUT or should i say that unlocks the channel that holds the class in . Then ya set the glass in the channel and myself i use my cotterpin removal tool( it is a tool that has sorta of a pigtail on it ) i use gojo hand cleaner on the as i call it the ZIP STRIP and roll the locking channel back in . Once th glass is in the groove i can zip around the locking channel in less then a min. and the glass is locked in. JUst take some time and study the window gskt and you will see what loks like a small groove and with a small screwdriver sorta dig into that grooves and sorta lift it up and out you will see what i mean.
 
I say the string trick done only the glass installer was using small rope to do it. He did not ues a lube because the rubber was very "alive".

The auto glazing shops also have some specialty tools for these installations, which can be a necessity with some of these glazing systems, C.R. Laurence is a good supplier of these tools, link below:

Install the glazing gasket in the frame on the pinch well first.

Slip the glass in one side of the gasket. Spray the glass and rubber with glass cleaner. Use a plastic "Stick" the work the rubber around the glass. The gasket should have a locking strip or bead that goes inside the gasket to tighten the gasket around the glass. You really need a locking strip tool to install.

I might suggest going by your local glass shop to ask if theymight loan you these tools.

NEVER TRY TO USE ANYTHING METAL AGAINST THE GLASS TO INSTALL.

Good luck.
 
I always do it like circus described. Round baler string works. Wrap the cord around the window twice in the molding groove. The loose ends ending where you set the window in the frame. Spray the molding with silicone spray to help it slip when pulling the cord.
 
You are describing what has been done on the auto assembly line for years. It's called "roping in the glass". As described soap the rubber seal and place a small cord in the groove that is formed by the interior flap. Have both ends of the cord at the bottom with the rest looped around the top. Have someone on the outside place the window with the seal on it on the bottom edge with the interior flip started on the flange. Then, take one of the cord ends and pull it outward as the helper on the outside applies pressure where the cord is and it should zip the lip right on. Once the corner is reached pull the other cord end and zip the lip into the other corner. From there just keep going around the window frame. The guys in the assembly plants can put one in in seconds.
 
Regarding plastic stick. My glass guy friend gave me one. It is hard white plastic, 5/8 wide, 3/16 thick, 6in. long. The thickness is sharp at one end and the width is rounded so that you can get it between the frame and the rubber.
