Door glass

Installing the new glass in the runner of my 52. What’s the trick to getting it and the gasket into the runner without breaking the glass?

Welcome to FTE! You have to remove the division bar at the front of the main glass, or at least disconnect the bottom end of the division bar and swing it forward enough to get the glass into the channel. (or are you asking about the channel on the bottom of the glass that is used to raise/lower the glass?)

Yes I am talking about the bottom bar that you actually set the glass into. With the insert tape provided it is real tight and I don't want to break the glass pounding it into the slot.

When I set glass into channel, set glass upsidedown on some rags/towels, tap channel with a rubber mallet carefully, Worked for me.
