Worked great and looks good.

Used to install a custom window. It even made my work look professional. (1/4" glass in 1/8" plate.) And no leaks! Unsolicited advice: I've never been able to use soap floss. Just buy some "Glass Installation Tools" or a Trim Removal Kit https://www.amazon.com/ABN-Premium-Auto-Trim-Removal/dp/B00KCXMCTM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1516930021&sr=8 - 6&keywords=panel+remover+tool for a few bucks and apply a generous amount of soapy water. It will take some time. The Trim-Lok website has lots of…

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION: Lubricate with soap and water, silicone spray or any other lubricant that will not damage the base. Then insert the glass into the ground first. Installation of glass trim and seals may require tools, sold separately.
Cons
  • Some errors

First Use - One-Piece Retaining Gasket

With limited experience installing two piece gaskets, I ordered a one piece gasket and hook installation tool to replace the side/rear window seals on a 1967 Mercedes Benz Van (L406dg). The 100ft roll arrived in double cardboard packaging. I've read enough to know that any upholstery material exposed to the elements will shrink over time, so my goal was to cut the oversized pieces and then adjust them to size. etc. For 90 degree cuts, my favorite tools were hose cutters with a 1.5 inch blade…

Pros
  • SECURE SEAL: Trim-Lok EPDM Window Tight Rubber Seal provides a secure seal between a metal or fiberglass body panel and a glass or plexiglass window. Use in playgrounds, safety equipment, cars, trucks and more.
Cons
  • unreliable

The shoulders of this product are not high enough for a secure grip.

Installed this TYPE of system on Kubota RTV 1100 for customers for several years when their glass broke with seal rupture. I bought the 1/4" panel and 1/4" glass version as the RTV 1100 has 1/4" plastic doors. I was fed up with Kubota's high OEM price and made the mistake of making it cheaper. with this proposal to Revain. A BIG mistake I want to add. This material isn't wide enough to provide a secure enough fit, and when true lateral pressure is applied, it rolls out of the frame. It's a big…

Pros
  • ONE-PIECE OR TWO-PIECE LOCKING ACTION: Trim-Lok retainer spacers are available in one-piece or two-piece configurations. The two-piece connection requires a matching locking key for an even more secure seal. Bump key is sold separately.
Cons
  • High price
