A fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to explain everything in a common sense manner! I'm in the middle of finishing up my 57 150. I've looked at tons of video and I have to say, this was the MOST informative one that I have watched. Thanks again!

Thank you Jimmy for the awesome words. Much appreciated

I have a 1962 Corvair. It has the same basic trim clips and rubber gasket. This video was very helpful for my back glass installation.

Great video, especially the comparisons of the hardtop vs. sedan trim pieces! I had always used the rope/string method but, the pick seems to be easier. Thanks for posting!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to make this video!! I've got the tape and the clips installed and ill be putting a extra clip in the corner like you said. I will have to pick up the strip caulk you mentioned. My trim is original to the car so it fits really well. I know your busy with the engine install and I seriously appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I feel alot better about doing this know , know that you have explained it. Thanks again for your help.

Great info!

[@randycleaver3967]

Excellent video on the dos and don'ts when installing the rear window. How many clips were used in total? What did you do with the headliner material?

[@stevemason6850]

3M makes a green plastic easy release tape for paint protection. It doesnt bond like masking tapes,and wont lift paint as you remove it.Good for doing 2 tone breaks too.

Do you put the strip caulk in the window rubber seam or in the drip rail seam?

[@brentmclovin9332]

Looking forward to seeing the car finished.🙂
