weather strip placement?
Hey people! I am replacing the weather stripping on my 78' ford and was wondering where the exact placement of the strip on the door is. It appears that they did not have this piece on from the factory but you can get it from LMC Truck. it goes on the door itself, i know that much but I dont know where exactly or how it should be placed. If someone could give a little insite on this or post a pic that would be great, thanks in advance!

Thanks for the pics! That is exactly what I needed. You have a very nice truck there! I am still in the process of restoring mine so I may post pics of it later when i get it done but I am painting mine white too. but I dont think my inside door panels cost as much as yours.

I wonder if the extra strip helps? Does it reduce wind noise for example?
I just replaced the door weather strips on my '78 F250. The kit has the extra strip which I have not installed yet. I am debating whether to add it.
I guess it just glues on... and would need good adhesive to stay put.

I used the LMC kit. Purchased a few years ago and just now getting it installed. The basic door weather strip looks tighter/better that the very tired OE set I had. I have a good highway run coming this weekend so it will get a good test.
