33 coupe top question.

[wallace18]

Is there any instructions for mounting the windows ( front and back) for the coupe top? I can't find any in the manual. Also was I supposed to get something for a headliner for the top?:confused:

The window instructions are after the hard top instructions in the manual. In mine its around page 335. I just started working on the hard top yesterday. :) I didn't look at it too closely, but I have a big piece of foam in the box with the power window motors. I assumed that is the headliner.

I found the headliner material. I am talking about the front and back windows for the coupe, not the side windows. . It looks like they glue in. I found it strange no mention in the manual of what to do with them.

I had a local mobile auto glass company install mine, he blacked out the edge of the fiberglass and used a urethane product. He did this in my garage and it came out neat and perfect at $30/window.

Sorry I didnt see this was in the 'Ask a FFR Tech' section. Hope I didn't step on any toes...

they have to be glued in. i got a local auto glass company to come out and do mine. suggest doing after paint. also make sure they prime the rear with black as you may see color due to amount of fiberglass area around window perimter.

Thanks guys. I'll take it to the auto glass guy after paint.

Hey guys - agreed on the glass installation, and thanks to all for chiming in! Also, when you have glass installed that way, you can usually specify whether they use a gasket around the edge or have it installed without (more commonly without, for the '33s). Wallace, give a call at 508-291-3443 and ask for me if you have any trouble locating your headliner.

Installing the front and rear glass is quick and easy, get the 3M glass sealant at your local auto parts, lay a good size bead around the glass and stuff it in.

I agree I did auto glass for 46 years Go to your auto parts store pick up some auto glass urethane run a good bead put some rubber blocks on the bottom usually only 2 stick the glass in let cure for 24 hours then trim off excess. It is easy and a lot cheaper if you do it yourself
