I am making progress on the assembly of my 62 hardtop and just finished the tedious task of installing the new window gasket, glass and stainless trim that goes over the gasket.
My next step is to install the 4 rivets (2 per side) that go through the retaining plate then the glass and then through mounting bracket.
If I look at the mounting bracket that is attached to the lower frame, on one side there is a small (approx 1/8") space between the glass and the bracket surface. The other side is much closer. I do not see anything that is holding it away except for the thickness of teh window gasket.
My question are:
1 Should I expect a small gap at this point?
2. When I install the rivet, should it pull everything together properly? I am using one of the Glassworks windows and just do not want to crack the glass.
Thoughts?
Thanks again,
Tony
