Window felt (sweeps)
I ordered 2 sets of anti rattle window felts for my '59. It looked like it should be a pretty straight forward install...line up 5 clips to 5 holes and press! BUT, the window doesn't roll down quite far enough to clear-the clips kind of stick out a little bit.
Anyone have an easy install tip or do I have to open up the door to drop the window regulator?
Thanks!

Just had mine apart to put in a new glass. It's pretty easy but not a bad idea to have new roller on hand. The clip is a little tricky and easy to have go flying. Mine went inside the door and I still couldn't find it (didn't look that hard 'cuz I had a new one). It's also a good time to take the regulator out and do a good clean and lube job on it. I use spray white lith on the regulator and the more stiff Lubriplate white grease on the roller. It's buttery smooth now.
