Re: Rear Glass Help

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@domain.elided>]

Robert, for Aussie and Euro cars the windscreen on early GTs is smaller than
the later GTV (you call it the Sprint), the GT being glued in whereas the
GTV is a rubber seal.   Rear window should be the same AFAIK.   Put the
rubber on the glass and fit the chrome strip before fitting to the car.
Place glass assembly on top of the hatch and fit it using the crossed poly
rope technique and use lots of soapy water, same technique as a windscreen
(if that helps ?).   It helps if the area is warm.

Subject: Rear Glass Help

Digesti:
Please help me. I'm trying to replace the glass in the rear deck lid on my
1978 Alfetta Sprint Veloce and have had no joy. I need specific
instructions-like do you put the rubber gasket on the glass or the frame
first
and then is one on top or behind the other. I feel so inadequate. Also are
the gaskets, frames, and glasses the same size for all Alfettas? In my
attempts, it looks like I could make it if I had about 1/8th of an inch
smaller glass. Therefore, do I have the wrong size glass?
Thanks for any help you may render.
