Ironhead Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So anyone who has installed this glass, was it a complete and total PITA? If I try to put it in dry, the friction with the rubber seal is so great that I cannot get it to seat far enough inside the hatch frame for the "string technique" to work getting the seal over the inner frame lip. If I lube it with detergent/water, it seats inside the frame adequately but then sort of pops out like a watermelon seed... Out of desperation, I am thinking of using woodworking clamps to hold the glass/seal sufficiently inside the frame while I try to work the seal over the inner lip. Any hot tips/techniques I am missing? My hatch is aftermarket carbon fiber....wondering it is simply a bit undersized and hence all the trouble....

Ironhead Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Nevermind...a half dozen clamps, a lot of swearing, and perhaps 2-3 years off my life got the job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
