belt molding area
I was taking my vent windows off this afternoon to get ready for (finally!) new weatherstripping, when I realized this:
 There is a bit of a bend on the outer-side of the door along the window channel- where the belt moildings clip in. It's bent in a kink right at the indention for the vent window divider bar, making a 5mm or so gap between the bar and the door skin. Is this normal? Both of my doors look like this, but that really doesn't say much, compared to the rest of the truck's previous condition. Does the outer molding cover this gap up? Thanks!!

Re: belt molding area
Yes that is pretty normal on these. Even the Repop's get wider towards the front but are not bent. Most of them have suffered alot of abuse. Used ones sometimes are even broke at the tab.

Re: belt molding area
Sure it can be fixed. Just needs to be hammered back down. Might use a piece of wood also
