Door Windows

Paint and glass places should be able to special order replacement glass in the original style. In Kalamazoo, MI, a piece that was identical to the original textured glass was running just under $80.

New door window gaskets may be ordered from Restoration Specialities, part # AS893. Thanks to JC for that source - he used it on his Silver Dome. Nancy bought it and used it on her '69 Scotty. Just a tad larger than the original, but still worked and it was much more pliable than the original 38 year old gasket!

Thanks to Mark Judd, n4zou and JC for the below information.

Mark asked: Does anyone know how to install the single pane glass in the door of a '68 Scotty?   This is the window with the rubber gasket around it.  Should I start by installing the gasket in the door first and then installing the glass (seems risky). Or should I start by installing the rubber gasket around the glass first, which is what I've done so far, and even that was a real chore. Now I need to install it in the window, and its not going... not easily! The rubber gasket has three cuts in it.  One for the glass, one for the metal door, and the other,  I'm assuming,  is something to make it easier to install, but not sure how its used.

And n4zou answered: You need mason string and plenty of Armor All. Start by cleaning all surfaces very well. You do not want to have any oil or dirt on anything the rubber seal will be in contact with, as this could cause a leak. Next thing to do is apply the Armor All to the rubber seal. This will lubricate it and allow you to smoothly pull the glass and rubber into place with the string around the door window opening. Place the rubber seal around the glass and if there is a joint make sure the joint is centered between the corners and on the bottom. Place the glass and rubber into the window opening starting at the bottom. Run the mason string around the outside groove of the rubber seal. As you pull the string the rubber seal and glass will be pulled into the window opening. Apply Armor All as required to keep it lubricated, you can't use too much of it! It should pull into the door opening easily and the Armor All will allow the rubber to shift around and seal tightly.
