The rubber boot does not require glue for installation. This is because there is a spring clip embedded it the rubber. When the boot is placed over a "flange" the spring clip squeezes the rubber securely. The only place you may want to glue the boot is where it meets. This is however optional. To glue the seam where the two ends meet, you can use cyanoacrylate (i.e. SuperGlue). Do not use any petroleum based glues as it will react negatively to the rubber. (i.e. rubber cement). See Installing Accordion Boot for more details

In order for the accordion boot to work in your application both opening must be the exact size.  If the opening in the fiberglass shell is smaller you have the option of resizing the opening to fit your rear window opening.  If the opening in the fiberglass shell is bigger than the opening in your truck's window opening  you are limited to using the compression boot.

Yes the boot will work for this situation

No, you do not need to use any additional sealant when installing the rubber boot.

Yes, we try to keep inventory available so we can send your order a quickly as possible. However there are times, due to high order volume, stock can be depleted. If this is the case your items will be backorder and sent as soon as new inventory arrives.

You cannot cut the boot to fit around the 3rd brake light.  Here are a couple of things you may want to do.

• Remove the brake light and cover the opening with a thin plate.
• Instead of installing the boot to the shell, install the boot into the truck window opening.  Do this only if you remove the rear window.

The accordion boot creates an air-tight and weather tight seal between the cabs. It does not provide any insulation. However, heat loss in minimize by the air-tight seal.

The material will not stretch that far. The maximum size that flange can be is 3/16" to receive the rubber. One solution to consider is to use flat bar and attach that around the opening in the box. One thing you must also remember - both opening need to be the same size and similar in shape.

You will not be able to attach the boot material to the wood, It is too thick. The best way to remedy this is to add a flange to the box. This could be done with steel or aluminum flat bar, or something similar (i.e. sheet metal, fiberglass), installed around the perimeter of the opening to allow the boot to attach to the box

The accordion boot only stretches one direction.  There is a metal clip embedded in the rubber that allow you to attach the boot to the fiberglass/sheet metal,  Therefore both window openings must be the same size.  If the opening in the shell is smaller you can cut and trim the fiberglass to match the truck's window opening.

This product is durable. For specific technical data on the rubber visit this page http://www.accordionboot.com/epdm-rubber-boot.php

The thickness of the rubber it is about 3/32" thick. (2.38mm).

As long as there is some sort of flange or wall to install the boot it should work. The thickness of the flange should not exceed 3/16" (4.7625mm) The accordion design allows for independent movement or flex between the cab bodies.

One issue to consider when using the compression boot is the friction of the rubber against the vehicle's body.  An adhesive strip will protect the paint.  There use to be a product on the market called "Cab Skin".  I don't believe it is available anymore.  There is a product made by Trimbrite called Bodyguard. You can find it on Amazon.  Although it is designed to protect rocker panels, you should be able to cut it to the shape of your trucks' cab.
