Rear Window Gasket
I did a seach and couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for. I found lots of great info on how to install the rear window and windshield however. My question is this: I am installing an aftermarket rear slider in my truck and can't figure out which part of the gasket sits on the pinch weld in the window opening. It looks like there are 3 different channels on the gasket, 2 deeper channels on the inside and outside and 1 shallow channel in the center. If anyone can tell me which one I should use I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

There are 2 gaskets sold. The one you have sounds like it takes a moulding as well (the shallow center channel). I bought that gasket as well when I replaced my window with an aftermarket one. I busted a$$ trying to install the window using the "string" method. I gave up and went to a window shop. The guy told me to throw away the moulding and buy the other gasket sold for Fords. This one only has the 2 deeper inner channels(pinch weld) and the 1 shallow (for the window. I did this and the glass went in real easy. You will need a helper to install or just pay a window guy to do it for about $45.
