Hi

The rubber gasket was unusually thick and spongy, so the glass would seal against it. As they aged in service, leak problems appeared. I ran across two taxi-spec'd Clipper Sixes in junkyards years ago, both had a heavy application of roof tar around the window in an effort to seal it.

Although the Clipper taxi was intended for only that market, some dealers ordered them for private sales. The appeal of the durable vinyl interior, framed windows, tougher taxi-spec'd chassis, even the ventilating rear window wasn't lost on some customers. Set up with overdrive and properly maintained, bet one could drive one for decades.
