Is this hard to install? Any tips? Thanks, John by the way, i ordered it from OPG..I hope the quality is good.. DN Mar 17th, 04, 7:41 PM The weatherstripping just slides into the vertical chrome. There should be a little upward facing prong on the chrome piece that prevents the weatherstripping from sliding back down. Most repops don't have it, so you may have to use some weatherstrip adhesive. Go to your local Auto glass shop and get several thicknesses of "butyl tape". You want it to fit very snug, tapping it on with a wood block and hammer. Use a little mineral spirits for lubricant. A little messy, but cleans right up. Then just trim with a razor blade. graemlins/thumbsup.gif 67SS_MASS Mar 18th, 04, 9:28 AM Thanks for the tip..I hope they come in the correct size.. I read other posts of people saying they did not fit properly. Thanks Again, John. Any other tips, feel free to chime in.... smile.gif DN Mar 18th, 04, 7:42 PM If the vertical chromes don't fit the contour of the glass, you'll have problems. Gms are still available but cost alot. |
