Adhere your manual door window glass back into your door window lifter channel with confidence and ease using this high-quality glass setting tape—designed specifically for all Full Size 1963–1991 Wagoneer, Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, J-Series Truck models. This seal sits between your door window glass and the door window lifter channel and helps adhere the glass to the channel.
Over time, factory window seals can dry out, shrink, or crack, causing window rattles, leaks, and loose glass in the frame. This glass setting tape delivers a snug, weatherproof fit for your door glass, preventing annoying movement, stopping water leaks, and restoring the solid feel of a properly finished door glass window.
This tape makes installation easier and more reliable. It also cushions the glass, reducing the risk of breakage and prolonging the life of your glass.

Instructions:
1. Wrap the Setting Tape
Apply the setting tape evenly around the entire length of the bottom door glass, gently pressing it into place as you go. Avoid stretching the tape.
2. Kerosene Pro Tip
Lightly moisten the tape with kerosene (K-1 heater or lamp oil) before installing the glass into the lifter channel. This softens the tape and makes it easier to conform and install. As the kerosene evaporates, the tape swells and creates a tight seal in the channel.
3. Trim Excess Tape After Installation
Once the glass is fully installed in the frame, you’ll often find extra tape sticking out beyond the channel edge.
- Carefully trim the excess tape flush with the frame using a plastic razor blade or trim tool.
- Using a plastic blade helps prevent accidental scratches or chips in the glass.
- Double-check for any bumps or uneven areas and trim as needed for a clean, professional look.
4. Allow the Assembly to Set in Heat
For the best bond, let the finished assembly sit in a warm area (such as a sunny window or heated room) for several hours or overnight. Warm temperatures help the setting tape “relax” and conform tightly to both the glass and the channel, ensuring a secure, long-lasting fit. This step can also help speed up the evaporation of kerosene.
