Just doing my own windows. For a Chev the "T" rubber appears to be 5/8 or 16mm from the bottom of the "T". Thats to say it will protude 16mm from the window frame. There is also a strip 1 3/4 in. flat medium density rubber that runs along behind the top hinge. Repeating that this is for Chevs, don't know if Fords are different in this regard, But it certainly would not be by much.
BTW. why does the Chev have the little handles on the bottom of the windscreen, and the Ford not?? Just to get in first...no the ride isn't so smooth the Ford does not have rattly windows.
Must admit that the window frames are the worst bit of design on a Cab 13, the profile is very difficult to replicate and appears to be designed to hold water. A miracle that they have lasted so long.
Anyone had anything to do with polishing the scrtaches out of the glass? have heard that they use rouge to polish imperfections in telescope mirrors. True? Any commercial products out there?
Cheers
Rich.
