OER 5 Foot Roll of 1/16" Thickness Glass Setting Tape Fits

OER 5-foot roll of 1/16" glass setting tape is a durable, non-stretch foam tape that folds over glass edges to secure and seal windows in GM frames and channels.

This setting tape is a straightforward replacement part designed to hold automotive glass firmly inside metal frames and channels while keeping out dirt and moisture. Sold as a 5-foot roll, the tape measures 1/16" thick and 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) wide, making it suitable for a range of GM windows and similar applications. It installs by wrapping the tape around the glass edge, seating the glass into the channel, and trimming any excess with a sharp knife or razor blade.

How does this tape keep glass secure inside the frame?

The tape creates a continuous cushioned barrier between glass and metal, preventing rattles and reducing direct metal-to-glass contact. Its stable, non-stretch composition maintains a consistent grip over time and resists deformation from repeated temperature cycles.

• 1/16" thickness provides a tight, cushioned fit.
• Non-stretch material retains shape under pressure.
• Wrap-and-seat installation gives consistent contact around the glass edge.

Will it keep out moisture and road debris?

Yes — the tape forms a sealed edge that blocks common contaminants like dirt and water from entering the frame channel. While it helps seal against puddles and spray, it is part of a mechanical fit and should be combined with proper frame alignment for best protection.

• Seals the glass/frame interface to reduce moisture intrusion.
• Prevents dirt and roadside debris from collecting inside the channel.
• Works with existing channels and metal frames—no adhesives required.

How do I install the OER glass setting tape correctly?

Installation is a simple trim-and-seat process: fold the tape over the glass edge, position the glass into the metal channel, and trim any surplus with a knife or razor blade for a finished fit. Take care to line up the tape evenly so the glass sits flush within the channel and avoid stretching the tape during placement.

• Fold tape over glass edge, aligning evenly on both sides.
• Slide glass into the channel and press into place.
• Trim excess with a sharp blade for a neat, secure edge.
