I am restoring a 1949 commander and have had no luck getting the stainless molding back in around the windshield and rear window. I have replaced the rubber and had a difficult time getting the rear window in. Now that I have them in I can't seem to get the stainless in the groove in the rubber. It doesn't talk about it in the service manual. I checked my brothers 1950 Plymouth manual since his car has similar molding and it says lube it with soap and work it in. I am beginning to think that the new replacement rubber is not exactly like the OEM. If it is no wonder Studebaker had such high labor rates. I don't think they had such trouble since I have production footage that shows the installation and it looks straight forward. Any Ideas???
Thanks
Restore it, don't replace it.Keep the Studebaker reproduction industry going
