kc8oye Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 what holds this in? I'm looking at the strip that goes around the top of the door glass on the body... mine is kinda crappy, and I need to pull it out anyway to repaint the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Glue, and its pressed into the chrome. It has a lip on each side of it that fits into the molding. I dont think there was a lot of glue on mine, just a couple dabs of weatherstrip cement in a few places. To put it in, I just tucked one side up in the channel, then go down the other side with a small nylon window stick and tuck that side in. Its not too bad, Im sure you can handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc8oye Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 so do I just grab and pull? gently prying the chrome off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The chrome will stay on, the rubber comes out of it Tim. The chrome is screwed on seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yea, but you dont need to pull the chrome to replace the weatherstrip. The chrome is attached to the body, then the weatherstrip goes into that. From what I remember anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8oye Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 oh boy.. now I'm relying on your memory tony? that's a scarey thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 tony ur memory is right on with the weather stripping. they should be a total of 6 screws if i remember right that holds the chrome on to the car. when i put my weather stripping in i let it run long and into the sail panel area im not sure if thats right or not but it worked. it takes times to get the stripping into the chrome.

7tonemonte Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I do remeber putting in the chrome first, then plugging the weatherstrip into it. It wasnt too big a deal, but it did take time, I dont think I put more than a couple dabs of glue into mine either. Have fun Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
