Belt-line

A while back I purchased a door seal kit and just now got doors done enough to install them. But when lining up the beltline, my stock slots are a tad off from where the tab locations are on the strip. Is this typical and should I have to drill new slots?

Are you sure you're trying to install the w/strips in the correct place?

As original 1968/70 & some 1971's: There are two different w/strips, not four.

The left inner is the same as the right outer, the left outer is the same as the right inner.

See post #5 for more info.

That was the case with the weather strips I bought from Denise;)Carpenter
(for friggin big bucks I might add;) the stuff looked to be made in China
same as LMC stuff, the clips weren't lined up right and the clips were crap.

"charge big bucks and they will be fooled into thinking it's good stuff" -D.C.?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) C7TZ8121452A .. Belt Weatherstrip / LEFT INNER

1) C7TZ8121453A .. Belt Weatherstrip / RIGHT INNER

1) D1TZ1021452A .. Belt Weatherstrip / RIGHT OUTER

NOTE: Why buy these from repro parts sellers?

Most autoglass shops sell these AND the clips separately.

In the autobiz, there are called CAT WHISKERS.

Autoglass shops sell a w/strip that's 3 feet long, then it's "CUT TO FIT"

On my dentside that's what Denise did, took a straight strip and bent it,
(wrinkled up and all) put the sorry clips (that "look" like the real thing) at
the wrong height and the one in the curved part was put on crooked.

I bought a set from Ford and installed them years before and they were
made curved, so had no wrinkles and the clips were identical to the ones
that came with the truck and when shoved into the slot clicked and held
tight. The clip in the curved section was turned to match the curve and
placed at the correct height to match the door's slot, too. :)

DC's are sorry pieces of crap compared to the ones I bought at the
dealership, but what burns me is they charge like they are NOS.

DC prob'ly gets theirs from LMC ;) or from the same supplier, bethca. ;)
