what is the method for installing the door opening weatherstripping into the long retainer channel that surrounds the door openning??
Windlace There is a thread on page 3 that covers this. WINDLACE HELP ON 51 dated 11-06-2008 Hope this helps Gene
cab windlass I recomend the blunt screw driver meathode it worked the best - just take your time. I found that you have to trim around the dash for a cleaner look.
Windlace Tool Harbor Freight etc. have these nice nylon stuffing tools , they work well and won't chip the paint....
Its a pain but I found the easiest way to get it in was with WD40 and then a very short wide blade screwdriver. It took about 30 minutes per side after I figured out the wrist flick
Wd40 Just remember that WD40 is a solvent and will hasten the demise of any rubber / plastic product , especially the taiwanese rubber bits.... Use silicone as long as your paint is 1000 % FINISHED as silicone will make fisheyes in the paint if it gets on the body before you paint it .
Goop hand cleaner is slicker than "snot on a door knob". 100% water soluable too. I've installed many a window, windshield etc using that stuff.
You know the old saying "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t" Anything that needs a "little extra" to fit can be accomplished with something that is slick. Goop or "Go-Jo" works in my book!
Cream Typ Hand Cleaner Is also unbelieveably great on old Moto seats , any old stiff seat cover that's faded to white , smear it on and gently work it in with a soft britsle brush , wipe off then buff with a clean soft cloth ~ you'll be amazed .
Richie: Great looking garage! Did you put the truck in there for the photo shoot or does you wife really let you use it?
