47-55.1 Door window felt and trim

[skip99]

Ordered window felt and rubber from classic, got this set of 4 pieces and set of outside rubber, the outside rubber fits fine, but this nside felt piece seems too long, and where does the rubber go? If it was intended for the. Outside, it is too big to fit in track, and pics of original felt and rubber? Or any better ideas for felt?

The last pic, rubber on left will not fit in outside track, so whats it for?

I've done several of these. The T rubber goes in the slot on the outer bottom of the window opening. It is often an extremely tight fit and requires a liberal amount of soap or lubricant to get it to slide. You may even have to pry the slot open a bit. One thing that's curious: your rubber window sweeps appear to be two different configurations. When viewed on end, one is the T-shape, the other a triangle shape. Each of these is commonly used, but why did they send you a mismatched set? They should both be one shape or the other. My preference is the triangle shape; it fits the slot easier.

The felt piece goes on the opposite side of the lower window opening - the inside bottom. It can be bent to conform, but if it's still too long there is no problem in trimming it shorter with some side cutters. It can be secured with your choice of screws, glue, or rivets. It's really just an anti-rattle device so an exact fit isn't crucial.

The open ends of the window channel should go straight down inside the door into the internal recesses made to secure it.

There is two of each on the outside rubbers, only one fits, the left one is too big but like you said, might fit if i bent the track,
