glass runs and my windows still look perfect. they really don't need to touch the glass if you don't drive the car in the rain, but of course what you use is up to you. I suspect that the Ames glass runs are purposely made shorter to avoid scratching the glass. As for the rear blow out clips, my original rear windows were ruined by 1973. I removed the blowout clips, replaced the windows in 1973 and they still look perfect today.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate your opinion. This K I am going to go with your theory. What are the blow out clips?
