vent window rubber replacement ..Help
I can't help with instructions, but here's some tips:
-If you've got nice paint, put masking tape on it
-Don't expect an excellent result if you're using reproductions. Two of us spent four hours on mine and could not make them fit properly. The problem was not the workers, it was the poor quality parts from Dennis Carpenter. They are on correctly yet I can see through the gaps.
-If you've got the money, use Ford parts.

You know, Jim, I can't say that it's really a hard job. However, I found it extremely frustrating for two reasons: I expected a perfect fit and adjusted and re-adjusted everything many times before the situation became apparent; I had never done it before and so I made all the mistakes one makes learning how to do it. (Hmmm...aren't there instructions at the back of the DC catalogue? I believe I used them.)
If I remember correctly, it goes a little smoother with the windows out of the doors. Good luck.
