Truck cab glass installation

Hi I am fitting ge glass back into my series 3 truck cab. Does anyone have any itting instructions which will help? Thanks

Quarter panels or sliding rears?

For sliding rear insert bottom outside channel hard up against the outside edge and screw in. A lot (lots) of pressure on the screws so they don’t burr. Place top outside channel on outside pane and side panel into bottom channel. Screw in top hard against outside, on one side of pane, then slide across and screw in other side. Repeat with other channels and panel. Just make sure you get panels and catches in the right order, so they latch.
For 3/4 you need a special tool to insert the locking strip, and use lots of soapy water spray to lubricate. Took me over and hour to do the first one. Yet to pop out though.

On this topic, is there a better channel than the traditional felt and steel? It rots out very fast in my experience.

Early series had Ali runners/guides these are good. Just make sure the glass will fit.

Soak the felt with oil in the lower runner, keeps it and door top for longer.

Tried that, the felt unstuck from the steel. Tried waxoil. Didn't last.

I now have moss growing in the window.

I think I'll try the series 3 club runners.

If you leave the moss to thicken up it stops water getting in. Im surprised Britpart dont sell landy moss.

Yes. The felt runners are horrid. Swap them out for plastic ones.

Can't. DEFRA have notified me that the back window is now a protected habitat. I need a licence from them detailing plans to re-home the moss prior to the commencement of any works.

More fool you for contacting them . Everyone knows that when it comes to window runner moss you keep shtum.

I was caught on camera:

They've set up AMPR (automatic moss plantation recognition) on all country roads around here.

You could try uprooting the moss and replanting it in another location, it seemed to work for the Chinese.

The guys at SP Panels have an option. I bought it a while back, the quality was okay. Haven't gotten around to fit it yet though...
