Guest bubbles10 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Also do i have to take the window out? Or can it be done with the window still installed.. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Blodgett Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just grab hold of the old strip and pull it up and off. It will also go on the same way. BUT it is slow moving. I've done mine twice. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bubbles10 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I got the old weatherstripping off and it looks pretty simple (just slide the new weatherstripping in) well every time I try I get about 3 inches down the window and the metal strip on the weatherstripping starts to bend up.. then i have to take it off and re bend the metal strip.. thats as far as i can get on both windows.. the metal just keeps bending?

Guest My TC Toy Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I stand to be corrected, but I think the rear side glass is operated by a geared nylon cable. If this is the case be very careful removing the weather strip because any excessive up or down stress on the geared cable could strip some teeth off it thereby requiring replacement to open and close the window. I am not saying you cannot replace the weatherstripping without removing the window but caution should be exercised. Also a shot or two of silicone spray would not be unwarranted. Good luckBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
