Help on '59 back glass install
 

Anyone know if the rubber lock strip goes on the inside of the cab or the outside? Also I saw a old service manual that said to install the gasket on the cab first and then work the glass into it, does this sound right?

outside, and yes put it on the cab first.

I am guessing you would use a rope just like the windshield, put the bottom in first then use the rope to roll the lip around the glass.

You can use a soapy rope to pull the glass in, but with out the lock strip in the rubber there is alot of room to install the glass in it.

i had a guy do it since i tore thru 2 of the rubber gaskets. definatly worth the money and lower frustration. i think the rubber is pretty unforgiving when you pull the rope. mine kept cutting in to the rubber... you might try steel rubber if yours fails
good luck
