Re: [A/S] Remember those windows???

---Ok. This is a 78 and the inside pane has to be broken out. The 
upper two on the road side had been done some time in the past. They 
were leaking, so I knifed them free from the outside. Who ever did 
them also cut the original frame between the two peices of glass. 
This allowed the remaing glass to be removed from the outside. After 
cleaning the glass and frame, I reinstalled them using silicone 
sealant. I put a couple of very thin spacers between the glass and 
the outer frame so the glass would be suspended in the silicone and 
not touch any metal framing. On the curb side, I broke out the inside 
peice of glass and after removing the factory gasket I cleaned the 
glass and frame. This outside glass could not be removed from the 
outside because the original glass channel was still intact. I also 
shimmed this glass away from the metal frame and also used silicone 
sealant. The shims I used was cut from a peice of white plastic wall 
paneling as used in bathrooms, milkhouses and the like. About a 
sixteenth of an inch thick, about a 1/4 " wide and about 4" long. 
They were between the outer frame and the glass. After the sealant 
dryed, I was able to pull them out and push a little sealant in place 
of them. The trailer is still in the shop, but will go out in a 
couple days. On a differant subjet, I found an aftermarket weather 
strip producer. I hav a pic. book and have some samples on the way. I 
am looking toward the self sticking tubular type. About 1/2" wide and 
3/8" thick. Should be more forgiving of old misaligned windows. 
Any ?'s???????  Good luck ..Arnie
