Re: Series 23 Curved Rear Window Glass

Here's a picture of the rear glass installation problem as I see it. With other cars I have done both Ford and GM, the gasket and glass fit firmly in the channel around the window opening so once you start pulling the cord to get the rubber over the pinch weld, the glass and gasket can't move. With the Packard, rather than fitting firmly in the window opening, there is a 7/16" gap that allows the glass to move and the rubber keeps slipping off the trim/pinch weld before we can get it completely on. I'm going to try to fill the gap with a temporary spacer made of foam core board. If that fails, I'll try some glass clamps (second picture).
