Dealing with a 1955,I think F100...Not mine. The owner attempted to install the rear glass,ruined the rubber but didn't break the glass. I got called in because I'm a so called expert but I can't get this thing in. The glass is original,cab undamaged,he got the rubber from LMC,don't know the brand. It appears the gasket is too big as I can pull either the top or the bottom easy enough but when going around, the rope gets extremely tight and it becomes a no go. The rope and rubber were lubed with dish soap. I guess the questions are what brand rubber is best and are there any tricks I need to know? The truck has been converted to 12v. It appears that the after market 12v wiper motor assembly is NLA at this time. The original 6v works good. I tried a couple 12-6v adapters but they are apparently for low amperage and didn't work at all. Does anyone know of a voltage reducer that will work? Will 12v be OK? Thanks!!
I had a similar thing happen when replacing back window 51 F1. Had new glass cut to match old one (cracked). then tried to install with new LMC gasket. no go, even after having glass sanded down twice. eventually forced too hard and broke glass and bought new glass from LMC. Moral is LMC glass and gasket do not play well with others.
