Rear edge window trim installation

[Jay Williamson]

Hi all,

I have a simple, but unusual question. I have a 67 Coronet 2 door hard top and the vertical stainless trim on both the back of my door window and the front of the quarter window have come loose and fallen off. In fact, I had to take the door card off and fish the trim out from inside the door. My question is, what adhesive should I use to reinstall these on the glass? thanks for the help

They are held on with glass setting tape. Any local house window glass shop that does framed mirrors should be able to help you out. 0.020 to 0.025" should work for those.

Thank you. Do you think an auto glass place or regular glass place would be best? I have both near me

Like I said above, more chances a home glass shop that does mirrors will have it.

20 thou thick?? I thought it was more like 1/16 or 3/32

Well a 1/16th is 0.0625 and that's way too thick. I have 0.060 and it's actually too thick to set the vent glass in the holders, 0.045 to 0.050 would be perfect for that. I can't remember if my thinnest roll is 0.025 or 0.030 but I can tell ya it was DAMN tight putting the stainless back on the back edge of the Bird door glass getting ready for 'dega using that roll.

I ended up finding some 1/32 at Summit Racing, so that should be a tad over 0.030. Hope it’s not too tight
