+2 door to window seals
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2022 4:34 pm
Hi all
Has anybody assembled the window frames into the doors and has the procedure for what trim goes where? I have finally got to the stage of getting the doors on, (machining up phosphor bronze bearings etc) rebuilding the locks, the handles, got the doors aligned and locks all working! I have bought from Sue Miller new top seal strips and the small felt strip, clips etc but how do they all go together, the manual is as helpful as a chocolate tea-pot it shows the bits but not how they fit. If i fit the top seal (a bit like a offset T) so it is between the door and the frame it fits well I have trimmed it to the correct lenght but it leaves a gap of about 1/4" between the glass and the seal. If it is fitted to the inside of the window frame it seals the glass but then how does it fit against the 1/4 glass as it is now the wrong side of the frame. Does the felt small strip go interior side of the frame? I bought the car as a basket case, it was stripped to the last nut and bolt in 1978 so this is as near as it has got to being a complete car since.
