The previous few days and today have been about reinstalling the rear window.  The glass had dropped and was loose due to the rotten sill and the rubber edging having disintegrated.  Having replaced the timber above the boot and below the window and the N/S corner, I reinstalled the glass today with new rubber.  Whilst it was a good fit top to bottom, there were gaps at the sides which must have always been there.  So I centred the glass and filled the cavities with an air-setting rubber compound called Tek.  Once this had been done and set I was able to install the triangle section beading that stops the glass falling out the back of the bus.  This was a long and tedious job that was started yesterday afternoon and finished today.

The next job is to hang the boot doors, so I marked out the 1/8″ galvanised steel plate ready for cutting tomorrow to make the hinge plates.
