Automotive Glass Setting tape

Automotive Glass Setting tape was used by almost all major manufacturers to mount the glass into the frames and runners on your vintage or classic vehicles.

Setting tape, despite looking like rubber, is in fact a butyl based compound that will tack off and bond to the glass and frame that it is being applied to. There are a number of thickness’s available and Glass 4 Classics keep them in stock.

Setting tape is typically used on:

1920’s to 1940’s vehicles that have fixed or hinged windscreens
Vehicles with quarter vent windows that open (both front and rear)
Mounting the runners (and frames when they’re on a hardtop or convertible) onto the wind up windows in most cars up to the mid 70’s.

Setting tape is VERY easy to use and will easily give a factory level finish in no time at all. We do not advise using silicone or urethane to mount the glass. Doing so may mean the glass is not positioned correctly and should there be a need to remove the glass in the future, it may mean breaking the glass to do so. If you’re going to do the job, do it right and use setting tape.
