Step by step agony V2

Heres why I left a glazings thickness around the outer edge of  the window.

I cut 3 glass thickness strips and rounded the front corners

top and bottom and lower rear so the glass is well sealed and protected from

hitting the metal of the frame.

Here it is in the frame

and again....

Press around the edges of the window to smush (technical term) the glazing

into the form of the frame a little.  I think a hotter day than 61 degrees would help this process.

Screw down the front bracket to keep it in place.

This is the lower  spacer for the window, it is the same piece as on the top of the frame.

The lower weather strip has to have the large oval hole over the window lock.

On the first door I tried re using the original screw holes.  Nearly impossible to align

the weather stripping and aluminum spacers and get the same hole.  Plus some holes

are stripped out.   I found it easier to drill new holes.

I used the wide flat blade screw driver to push the stipping up against the glass while drilling

the new holes.  When the screws are put in - the stipping pressed the glass against the glazing

and the glazing against the outer metal.
