1969 RR rear glass seal?

[493 Mike]

My oldest friend is restoring a Road Runner for his daughter and is having trouble finding the seal "flap" for the glass? He has a metal strip with attached rubber seal (decomposing). Can anyone school me on this design? Thanks!

Rear glass is simply butyl ribbon strip...

Starts here... butyl is 3/8ths.

Some gals can be very helpful at times! Does this glass have the right profile? Definitely, mfg November 1968 !

Are you talking about the rear quarter glass?

Go with the 3/8ths. I used the 5/16ths because I read on here somewhere that the 3/8ths was too thick and the outer trim wouldn't fit correctly. Man was that a bad decision.
After a summer of shows in the hot sun with the 5/16ths has squished down and started pushing the interior trim away from the headliner. Good winter project for me to fix.
Again, go with the 3/8ths.

I think you may have something there considering the detail. Rear glass, back glass... guys need to be more specific.

Rear SIDE glass is also covered in my Superbird cleanup thread for Talladega in 2019.. how to do the stapled on inner seal and outer catwhisker.
