HONDA 600 COUPE Hatch glass seal

[Bill]

What they should have used is a rubber "U" shaped gasket to fit the glass joining at the bottom of the glass and then install the gasket into the hatch using 3M Window-Weld ribbon sealer.  3M part number 08612.  However if this is the first time your installing glass using this seal a auto glass installation company may be a better choice as there are cleaners for the glass and the hatch frame to make this a lasting seal.
Some of the U shaped seals have a chrome inset which is closer to the look that the Honda 600 coupe had.

Hi Bob,
     I just posted a msg about a silicone sealer before I saw this response from Bill.  So, you can ignore my message since this has the 3M product which is made specifically for your application.
Thanks, Bill, for your advice.
good luck on your project,
Dale

Hi Dale;
I had the parts page from an Italian Honda Coupe parts manual.  It seems that they were allowed to purchase all the parts to replace the glass in the coupe hatch, so there are parts numbers for them but I could never order them.
The chrome strip was really an L shaped affair that slipped between the glass and the frame to the hatch.
I have had some success using an aftermarket wheel flair chrome strip that was L shaped with adhesive on one side.
When it came to the corners letting it sit in the sun for a while made it pliable enough to stretch it around them making for a good fit.
It was on the car for a month or so before I sold it so no history on how long it held up .

I have a set of NOS rear hatch chrome for a coupe.   Not for sale though sorry.
