Window Install

What do you use in the upper roller track to secure the side glass?

Thanks,
Dex.

There is a tape made for this. The next question is how the glass is located in the sash, fore and aft. I’m searching for this too.

Thank you sir! I'm about to make an order from Corvette America and was looking on their website. Just couldn't find it.

Second question, when I cleaned out the passenger side track, I saw three rubber like bumpers (will post a picture). Should there be bumpers in the channel? BTW, I didn't see them on the driver's side.

Thanks,
Dex.

Oh yes, I thought about the positioning also. If you find something please post it.

Thanks,

The only rubber bumpers I know of are on the window stops for the up and down adjustments

I center it in the sash and when you move the window up and down it should put it self where it needs to be

Thought about it should center itself, but wasn't sure. By sash, are you talking about the tape?

Thanks,
Dex.

Ha! I knew you was a victim of the "auto-correct" monster. I always called the sash a channel. Learned something new today!

Thanks,

I’ve found some of those randomly. They appear to be spacers under the glass and tape bottom in the sash channel. Don’t understand their use as they appear randomly, but usually 3 at a time.

I know one was in the middle and one was close to the vent window side. Not sure where the third one was.
