46 chevy pickup

Hi GUYS,
I have a 46 chevy pickup, and I extended the cab 12 inchs.
I made two opera  windows from the back of 4 door windows, I wanted
the opera and door windows to match.
My problem is,when I install the window rubber [like on back window]they are not going to match.
Anyone have another way of mounting these window, were they would match

THANKS Bobby(':?')

Please clarify...do you mean that when you install the rubber around the glass the opening looks smaller on the opera windows? Pictures might help.

The way to do this is to install the opera windows with a butyl strip, gluing it just inside the stainless molding. you can then glue a rubber strip to the inside garnish moldings to hold it all in place.

I have a few friends that have done this to their trucks. One is a '37 Chevy and the other is a '46 Chevy that was done by following what the first guy did. I don't have any inside pictures of these two.

A street rod is a vehicle made before 1949 that is modified with modern stuff: bigger motors; newer trans; updated suspension, front & rear; a/c.
Following is a street rod plus definition: No known definition because it changes.

Steele Rubber Products ags a nice moulding that I have used in quarter windows. It's for 35-38 Chevies...their P/N70-1191-52. There may be others in their catalog that are similar. Look at their website www.steelerubber.com

On an s-10m and a lot of hot rods the glass is set in the opening with ribbon sealer. Its a urethane sealer that comes in a roll. You need a lip in the window opening for the glass to set against but on the sealer. I had to use 3/8 diameter and i think (ill look later) 5/16 diamater ribbon sealer to take up the space from the lip plus the thickness of the glass and have the glass level with the opening when set in place. By the way the ribbon sealer is a 3m product. After the glass is set you can go to about any glass shop and buy the moulding like they use on an s-10.. It can be put in place with urethane in a tube or black silicone can be used also. Keep in mind you will need about 1/8 clearence around the glass to install the moulding. I will double check that dimension also. We discussed that a while back on the board here and I found the info some where but i cant remember the exact dimension.
I hope that helps you understand how the s-10 style glass works.
