OER 5-foot roll of 1/16" glass setting tape is a durable, non-stretch strip designed to secure and seal glass inside GM-style metal frames and channels.
This heavy-duty setting tape is made for automotive glass installation and restoration projects where a tight, long-lasting fit is essential. The tape folds over the glass edge, slips into the frame or channel, and is trimmed to size, creating a barrier against dirt and moisture while holding the glass firmly without deforming over time. Each roll contains five feet of tape at 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) width and 1/16" thickness—dimensions chosen to match many GM window and vent applications.
The OER tape is formulated to resist stretching and compression, maintaining a consistent grip on the glass and the metal channel even after repeated temperature cycles. Its construction creates a stable cushion that prevents rattling and reduces stress on glass edges.
Installation is straightforward: fold the tape over the glass edge, press the folded strip into the metal frame or channel, then trim excess with a razor or utility knife for a neat finish. No adhesive activation or special tools are required, but a sharp blade and steady hand yield the best result.
This 1/16" thick, 1-1/2" wide tape is sized to suit many GM windows, vent glass, and related trim applications; it's commonly used during restorations and repairs where original-style setting tape is required. Always verify channel width and glass edge dimensions before cutting to length.
Who is this for? This OER glass setting tape roll is aimed at classic car restorers, auto glass technicians, and DIY hobbyists tackling GM window repairs who need a reliable, non-stretch solution that recreates original fit and finish. It's ideal when you want a neat, long-term seal without adhesives or complex tooling, and when accurate channel dimensions call for a 1/16" thick, 1-1/2" wide tape in manageable 5-foot lengths.
Q: Is adhesive needed to install this setting tape?
A: No; the tape is folded over the glass and held by the channel without extra adhesive.
Q: Can I trim the roll to fit shorter windows?
A: Yes; the 5-foot roll can be cut to any required length with a utility knife.
