[Oaktown]

My rear window rattles around when i hit bumps sometime and i noticed it leaking when it rained the other day...the place i took it to wanted $70 to reseal it...i would like to just buy the stuff, but i dont know what to buy or where to get it from...i was wondering what you guys have done with your leaking rear windows or possible rattling ones like mine...

I had my rear window resealed after I painted my 87 T. Pay the professional to do it just make sure they have a good track record locally. Swing by the shop and watch a few installs. The job should be no more than $50-70 dollars. They should remove all the trim, cut the window out, clean it up, clean the window frame up, put down some type of brushable primer, then re-caulk the frame, install glass, back fill glass with caulk after it is installed, and finally replace all trim. Also pick up a few extra trim clips as some will probably break or will be missing when the trim comes off. I went to the junkyard to get the clips and saw some really poor window caulking and installs as I gathered trim clips. The install should look clean after they put the glass back in.
