Thank you! Very nicely done video! I used a hard plastic hammer to minimize the chance of fracturing the glass. I also sprayed engine degreaser along the runner and let it sit for a few minutes. That seemed to help soften the 55 year old adhesive on the setting tape.

This is a wonderful teaching on how to do this. I had been wondering for years on how to do this. Very simple.

Thanks George. As car guys ourselves, we know just how frustrating some of the simplest of tasks can be. Nathan loves to give back in this way for all the times he has been helped himself.

@@rodseaman6810 I have two trucks that I am going to put new window glass in and I always regarded this task as something mysterious and even dreaded.. Now I look forward to it. I will let you know how it works out. I have access to a blasting cabinet so I will clean the metal parts and paint them well. Thanks for your encouragement. This sort of sharing is what makes the world a better place.

Have you ever removed the runners from a window that's riveted ? I have a 77 Ford Thunderbird that has runners riveted in from the factory, any tips on removing them safely without ruining the glass ?

What is tape thickness size for a 63 impala I tried using 1/16 but it was to thick
@glass4classics4272 ай бұрын
It'll depend on whether you've got new glass or original glass too. I have used 1/16" in the past, but my glass may have been different to yours (We made new glass for the customer). If the 1/16" was too thick, the next size down is 3/64". If you can't find it locally, we're happy to send overseas if you need it.

I can not find glass setting tape. Planning on using bicycle inner tube rubber and glass glue.
@glass4classics427 Жыл бұрын
It can work, but advisable not too. Bike inner tube is an old trick that lots of people have used for years, but inner tube is stretchy and often ends up not working very well. I've had customers that made the comment they used it and the window popped out of the track or vents popped out of frames while driving because the rubber was stretched when going in and under tension. If you do use the inner tube, it's probably best you use a small amount of urethane on the very end as some insurance to make sure it won't pop out.

Excellent video ! My Question is i bought both left and right side runners but not sure what way they face out. The originals were not with the car so i have no idea . Thanks for any help
@glass4classics4272 жыл бұрын
What model vehicle do you have? In most instances the small channels on the bottom of the runner (that the guide wheel rolls in), will face inwards towards the cabin of the vehicle. If you can let me know the make/model, I may know off the top of my head which way it goes.

@@glass4classics427 Thank you for getting back to me. I have 1939 Packard 120 coupe. On your video the very first picture of your demo showing the runner laying flat with the bends facing up would that side face to the outside of car or towards the inside?

Is there a good guide out there to find a runner for a 33 Dodge? I'm missing one for my driver's door, on a 4 door. A compatible replacement or after market that works with the original equipment would be great.
@glass4classics4272 жыл бұрын
Hi deerevdevore, Early Dodge (Chrysler/Plymouth etc) is always hard to source parts for. Particularly here in Australia. Very few reproduction parts are available for them. The best we can offer is just the runner portion, but it won't have any brackets/guides attached to the bottom of it, so it may not be of much use to you.
