<VV> LM Coupe Rear Glass

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

I had the same “hinge” situation in my ‘65 coupe.
Couldn’t find the problem, never once thought about 
the glass.  A very talented mechanic rode with me around 
the hotel parking lot (at the Portland National Convention) 
and immediately pointed out the problem.  My local auto 
glass guys fixed the problem in short order.

Most of us use the strip because we work for free on our cars. It is  
definitely more time consuming that the tube caulking. A shop, where time is  
money, will use the caulk gun. Much faster and probably just as secure. I had a 
portable installer do the windshield in my street car, and it was 
interesting to  watch pros in action. They did a great job at a reasonable price - 
and fast. I  remember reinstalling the rear window in my Corsa coupe when I 
would hit some  type of bump and hear a definite "clunk" a moment after the 
car settled. That  was the rear window landing back in place! About 25 inches 
across the top was  still attached. Sort of a hinge! - Seth

They set  my backlight with Sikiflex black urethane in a caulk tube using a 
special  tip that made a pyramidal shaped bead. This same (or similar) 
caulk is  used to set planks on wood bottom boats. I've used the ribbon before  
setting windshields and it works great as long as there is no rust or loose  
paint. J. Bruce  Weeks
