Hello, does anyone have any tips/tricks to re-installing the rear side "D" style windows in an early P1800. Not sure if I should be using window sealant as well, also any tips on rear window installation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

    Volvo always used sealant between the window and the seal and the seal and the body.

    My glass guy likes to install the windows first and then uses his caulk gun to install the sealant.

    If you are going to DIY, here's a video that will give you the general idea. I prefer to use silicone spray to act as a lubricant. The silicone spray I use evaporates so I usually have to use more during installation.
