im hoping someone can tell me if a pinch weld seal is used on the rear of a special deluxe .has the stainless trim surround like the frnt ,but I cant tell if it ever had a seal .seems to fit so to tight to the pinchweld for the seal to fit . anyone have exp. . im not sure if 46/48 had trim on the rear , but might be the same . thnx
you seem to have a lot of problems with glass in this car. lol. the stainless fits on the pinch weld, the rubbergoes against the inside of the opening I will get you a picture out of the body manual shortly
thnx for the info . I was pretty sure the pinch weld seal wasn't used on the rear .as I stated there isn't room . but the vcca guys said it was . and another told me to use twine to install .and the rubber people sold me seal AND pinch weld seal . so , im not real bright in the fist place , and it dosnt take much to confuse me . I guess they only used it on the front to counter act the 60 mph driven rain !! anyway thnx .all new everything uph. going in so I really want it to stay dry . ive been trying to get it in a little better shape for the local fathersday car show and pancake breakfast but I guess its canclled this year . and im on a diet so pancakes are out any way !
What are you not sure about? the trim goes on the pinch weld and the rubber and glass goes against the trim with sealer.
If SD in your ? means Super Deluxe yes you install the chrome outer trim on the pinch weld first. Then put the glass with the flat SD rubber against the outer trim with sealer. If you have a standard trim model There is no outer trim just the comparable rubber seal that you install on the pinch weld using a string and plenty of lube. Completely different rubber seals 2 piece for the SD and 1 piece for the standard models. Later Bill
thnx don't mean to sound dumb but want to do it right ONCE , I usually end up doing everything twice or more . and like I said the rear weatherstrip came with the pinchweld seal , like the one that goes on the frnt. and I installed the frnt twice before I got it right ! sd is special deluxe . no super in 41 chev. so I guess just weather strip adhesive filling the grove on trim and clean up the excess . sounds to easy
