Subject:Install rear hatch glass/which suction cup?
From:Oxroad
Date:Tue, 24 Oct 2017 13:44:34 -0700

Hello-

I've been lurking for years since my bus went in to dry dock, but in the
'90s--heck I found my bus on this list.

Meanwhile, a BB found my rear hatch window this week. I have a nice piece
of stock replacement glass from a donor and new rubber seal from GoWesty.

I searched the archives and this is what I've gleaned:

2 man job
dish soap or silicone as lube
weed wacker cord
suction cup helpful

Question is, what type of suction cup? I see them inexpensive at "Harbor
Fright" in single and double configurations. Are these too cheap to be
worthy?

Any other advice appreciated.

(I've done auto glass windshield and glass on my other cars but it was many
years ago.)

TIA,
Jeff
