Back window install
I was wondering if anyone knows of a video showing the process of installing a back window on a 76. I have googled it but only found them explaining how to do it. I would rather see it being done. I was wondering if it was better to put the rubber and glue on the body first, or if it was easer to install the rubber on the window first. I believe the last owner had it removed for paint and they just put the glass in without any sealant, or rubber. I have the rubber, and the glue that is used on the install, along with the cleaner to clean all the surfaces before the gluing process. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone has done theirs, any tips or tricks, to make it go smoother. And any do not do this.
Thanks for any help.

You then use the setting blocks that come in the kit as a spacer under the glass. Once you do this you press the glass into the ribbon tape and your done. You could run a test run without the ribbon tape if you wanted, but its really not needed.. and we use suction cups to hold the glass while we set it into the opening.
It's relatively easy to do this job. I always put the ends of the ribbon tape at the top middle and you can pinch the tape together once you have it on the car.

I've never seen a video on how to do this, but I've done this job over and over without any issue. The rear window was held in place with ribbon tape... you remove the old glass, clean everything and then place your ribbon tape around the opening.
