Re: Door window felt

Bob was right!

The universal strip came in and it wasn't wide enough, math was correct, I think the door felt was marked wrong. Anyway I purchased the stock pop in felt and although I purchased it from a different vendor, It dosn't fit due to miss alignment of the mounting clips. I took my Dremel tool and cut the crimped mounting clips off of the strip, removed the rubber, cut it to length and roughed up the metal so the adhesive would stick. I applied the urethane adhesive and spread it with a paint stick about an 1/8" thick. With the window down and lower bump stops removed, see previous post, I applied the strip and used door shim wood wedges for house doors to hold the weatherstrip in place overnight. I have done three so far and the last one will go on tonight. I made the stainless strip flush with the top of the door and used the urethane adhesive in the picture in the above post. My upholstery guy said to use gas on a rag to clean the excess adhesive off of the paint, worked pretty good.
