Rear glass rubber question


pit crew guy

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if the rubber that I received from Black Dragon is correct for my 1972 240Z. At present I don't have the correct glass in my rear hatch, what I have is a piece of fitted plexiglass with a regtanular rubber seal. (I have a used glass to install on hand). The rubber seal that I received has two 90 degree corners. If laid on the floor it looks like the letter D. Does this sound like the correct seal to you guys that have replaced your rear hatch glass seals or should it be formed in a regtanular form with four 90 degree corners?

Thanks in advance.

I believe that is correct. The two 90s are for the top corners, the bottom corners are more gentle (larger radius) and don't need formed corners. That's what I recall, anyway.

Arne's right. That's why there are separate stainless trim pieces for the top corners, but not the bottom.

I had an aftermarket seal I got from Too Intense Restorations.

My seal was twisted to where it would not sit on the glass...Probably a production defect. I then decided to go a different direction and flush mount the glass like the newer European cars. It turned out nice with no seal needed.
