    My brother-in-law and I were one of the first people to do this to a Cuda back in 1993. We welded filler pieces all around each window to fill the gaps then used the "T" shape trim from a Dodge Caravan.

    Thanks Alan, unfortunately welding filler panels into the car is no longer an option. Several people have done it by using thick or stacks of Buytl tape and then using a T molding. Unfortunately, no one seems to be willing to explain exactly how thick or how much tape to use and what width of T molding works the best.

    I know nothing of how to do this, but do have experience with butyl tapes, it might be better to use a hard shim to get and hold the window at the right height.  :dunno:  :2cents:

    Hey John, question about the front and rear glass. I noticed that you don't have the stainless steel trim. Did you just replace that with some sort of rubber seal? Just curious how you did that.
    I flush mounted the AMD front and rear glass by stacking two 5/16 square buytl tape on top each other to get the depth and a 3/4 universal t molding glued in with super fast urethane ... :bigsmile:
