Default Flush mounted glass what are you doing for seals ?

As the title suggests curious to see what brands those who have flush mount front and rear screens are using.

I have welded a bead inside the frames and will seal with sealant / glue to the frame, but then need to run the rubber seal on the outside to tidy it up, can anyone share what / where they got a rubber seal to fit

Thanks in advance

Are you using stock glass or the oversize glass? I just installed the glass kit from Glass Innovations. I think that is what the company is called.

It was a pain making there rubbers work that came in the kit but it turned out nice.

I would do it different on the next car.

Go here and you will see some pictures of it.

How much of a gap did you leave between the glass and body. I would make it look like the truck flush glass. They have a rubber that slips on the side of the glass and when you set the glass it will fill the area between the glass edge and body. Like the new cars .

Here is the type we used that came in the kit. This is the small one and we used the next size. Sorry dont have a piece that we used. The hardest part is going around the curves.

I use a J-channel molding for the flush mount glass kits. It has an adhesive in the channel where it attachs to the glass and comes in multiple widths up to 1 inch. It is much easier to work with vs. what comes in the flush mount glass kit.

I use universal molding that comes on big rolls from Safelite, call your local Safelite glass distributor,they sell all the materials you need for glass installation
