RE: [VACList] '63 FC window glazing replacement
Does your seal look like the profiles on this page?
http://vintageairstream.com/rr_topics_windows.html
This style should fit the 1962 (& some 1961) to 1965 windows.
Another idea is to check the window thickness. It should be
single-strength glass (3/32"). If someone has replaced it with 1/8" or
5/32" glass, the retainer is very hard to fit.
Another tip is to soften the seal in hot water first - and be sure not
to stretch the seal too tight when installing - try to get as much seal
length as possible into the opening. That way, as it shrinks with age
it wont pull out and leak.
Best of luck,
RJ
