The rear glass uses a Butyl Tape to set the glass not a rubber seal.
I believe it is 5/16 for the rear window and 3/8 for the windshield.
I picked it up at the auto parts store. Autobarn/Advanced/Autozone/Pepboys all had the 3M Brand for around $15

Year One would be the last place to go for this.. Hopefully someone will respond with a good source for this..

butyl tape, and the primer used to make it adhear correctly, is available at most any local automotive paint stores.
not something to mail order.

I used 3/8 for both. Local automotive paint supply company and a local upholstery and trim shop had it in bulk. The first was the same box Year One sells and the latter all the parts that are in the box. All of them less than half the price. No shipping, no wait. Also I supplied the butyl to Safelite to install it instead of gluing in with their stuff. They balked at first...told them to leave the windshield and I would do it myself. They relented. I am glad they did 'cause it cracked six months later due to another issue. It came out easy. Bought new glass wholesale and put in in myself for half what Safelite charged me.

I thought it was 5/16 for both?


Careful, your character's showing!

Should be 3/8 for front and 5/16 for the backglass.. Should be and what some people have used are two different things. Using 3/8 on the back glass will most likely make the chrome hard to install if not impossible..
