FB door weatherstriping and 1/4 glass

[mustangindia 10]

Hi All,

 

Need quite a bit of help with my door weatherstripping molding, 1/4 glass assembly etc.

 

Does anyone have progress (step by step) pictures of the molding in place before weatherstripping is in place, and the some after photos, same for the 1/4 glass channel area. Also of the point where the 1/4 glass upper pivot rod fits the body. Is there a break in the weatherstripping there?

 

back to front (all views) pictures would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Thanks GT350. I had seen this article before. I was hoping for some higher res photos, perhaps with a few more of the steps. Need to figure out the area around the 1/4 window posts, where the weatherstrip guide clips fit and the approximate centering of the channel.

I'm in the process of getting my Moldings and 1/4 Windows ready for install as soon as the car is painted which can be any day by now,

 

So, I cleaned and polished all of the drip rail moldings and rebuilt the 1/4 window w/ new frames, rubber and anchor bolts.

 

I purchased the foam seal from CJPony, it's the exact width and thickness. You need 2 rolls. As GT350 mentioned on Mustang Monthly make sure you get the 3M 8011 adhesive (its water proof and black). Since the foam roll is sticky on one side, you need to apply the adhesive to the non sticky side that goes against the body. I would first place the sticky side of the foam on the wide SS channel, then apply the adhesive and screw it in place. Afterwards you need to screw in the window guides (2 on each side), theres a notch in the SS molding where they go.

 

Remember you can only use the special screws that were on the railing when you took it off. If they got lost you need to replace it with the exact size and shape.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks @prayers1, can I ask you to take photos when you assemble? I am having alignment issues. A lot of the metal around the area was replaced.

 

My 1/4 windows is hitting the drip rail molding joint. There are a few more issues. Also how do the weatherstrip guide clips fit? from the inside or outside?

 

My car was missing all of the channel, so don't have any of the old pieces. All been fabricated.

The metal guide clips get installed after the drip rail is screwed in. You'll see cut outs in the drip rail where their suppose to go.

Due to the fabrication and repairs, we've lost the cut outs, so I need the locations to make the cuts.

So, are you saying that your not using the original drip molding. Then what are you using. I can't reference where the cuts are because I dropped my drip rails off at the Bodyshop. Under your circumstances, maybe you don't need the clips.

 

Pictures of what your dealing with would be better for us to visualize.
