tape kits
« on: February 24, 2006, 10:48:53 PM »

please, please please explain to me what a "tape kit" is.
   Do u still need a rubber gasket , or does it completely replace that?
  I need to pop out my 68s rear window so this is next on my list, but nobody i talk to seems to know anything about windows.
  thanks

I'm not sure what they call a tape kit, but I know when I took the glass out of my 69 Dart there was some really sticky stuff that was a bitch to remove      It looked like some kind of tape adhesive that probably helped seal the window.  I am guessing that might be waht they call a tape kit, and you would still need to replace the rubber seal around the glass.   I usually hire the local glass guy (who's been there for like 30 years) and have him re-install all the glass.  That way if something goes wrong it's his Dime not mine.  Plus, they guarantee no leaks, well worth the $$$.

it almost sounds like you are talking about those old fashioned stick on plastic things to keep your rear window defrosted

I think what you are referring to is what's called a window "ribbon" kit.  It is used to seal windshields without rubber gaskets.  It's a urethane base.
