R&R Suburban Tailgate Upper Glass Run

[BryanC]

Hi - I need to R&R the (fiberglass?) tailgate upper glass run that goes between the window and the body on my 1974 Suburban to treat some surface rust between it and the body. Does anyone have directions on how to correctly R&R this piece? Thanks!

Here is what I found: Remove the upper glass run felt, remove the screws for the tailgate seal, then you can remove the sheet metal screws holding the three pieces in place.

There is supposed to be some seal that should be behind the side pieces. It was missing on my old suburban and I had to use a lot of sealer instead. Otherwise I would get water leaking heavily through that area
