    fit rubber 1/2" too long on purpose, cut ends real square.

    Attachment 24931

    15 minutes in hot soapy wather soak.

    Attachment 24934

    stuff it on the frame

    Attachment 24932

    lube the slot with dish soap

    Attachment 24935


    corners look bad

    Attachment 24936

    insert glass in bottom slit and use the nylon padel to work the lip over the glass, up each side evenly and across the top.

    then move the bglass and rubber around to setle it in.

    use the padle to work the rubber into place and to put lube in the lock slot and work the slot straight and open.

    Attachment 24937

    put the lock strip in using the tool, going slow with two handes and lots of soap lube = no slipping and scratching the paint.


    Attachment 24939

    the corners look all buckled.
    Attachment 24938


    heat gun the rubber

    Attachment 24940

    press the heated rubber into place and shape

    Attachment 24942

    repeat untill it looks right, both sides.
