Ventilator Glass Replacement
1. Using an oil can or similar means, squirt prepsol on
the glass filler all around the glass channel or frame
to soften the old seal. When the seal has softened,
remove the glass from the channel.
2. Thoroughly clean the inside of the glass channel
with sandpaper, removing all rust, etc.
3. Using new glass channel filler, cut the piece to be
installed two inches longer than necessary for the
channel. Place this piece of filler (soapstoned side
of filler away from glass) evenly over the edge of
the glass which will fit in the channel. The extra
filler extending beyond the rear edge of the glass
Fig. 16G—Removing Ventilator
should be pinched together to hold it in place
during glass installation.
NOTE: One side of this filler (the outside of
the roll) is soapstoned. This is the side which
goes into the metal channel.
4. Brush the inside of the metal glass channel freely
with ordinary engine oil. This will enable the glass
and filler to slide freely into the channel.

edge is parallel to the division post. Allow
full cure before water testing.

regulate to the full down position before
