The door belt weather strips (aka anti-rattlers aka cat whiskers) are the same: 1961/66 F100/1100; 1963/69 N/NT500/1000; 1967/69 F800/1000.

Remove the door access panel, on the end of the window regulator arm is a nylon window roller (#10 in pic).

The roller fits on the regulator, then into the window channel (#7) that the glass is adhered to.

Remove the roller, then lower the window to the bottom of the door. Now you can access the weather strips (w/strips).

Pay attention to where the clips are placed on the originals, because when bought from Ford, the clips came installed on the w/strips in the correct locations.

LMC sells them individually, so they have to be clipped on.

I second hello113, I used the video and redid both doors. All seals, rattlers, felt division bars, vent window frames, etc. Great video.

make sure to try all screws in new metal pieces before u install and when u make the bend at the top of the door with the felt make sure to pinch the open sides togetheras u bend it around or u can kink it.also when removing the metal bracket from the rear (opposite the hinges) take care with the top screw or u will tear the nut off the bracket

Great timing

I'm waiting on an order of window parts and will be tackling this part very soon. Unfortunately my pieces were mostly hanging inside the door, so it will be difficult to determine old clip locations. Can't wait to watch the video.

Results as expected

Fred's video was amazing. Still my window work turned out like crap. I struggle with a disability that affects my dexterity, problem solving, eyesight and patience. Unfortunately my condition made it impossible to complete this project. I do have a bunch of twisted channel, ripped felt and chipped paint, so I guess that's something to savor. I will also be severing ties with a certain 3 letter vendor. Their stuff is simply not the quality that I need. I've made several purchases hoping for a different outcome. Live and learn. Here I come Mr Carpenter. Thank you for allowing me to vent. My budget is not endless and I can't afford to throw away everything I buy.

Itsmyford. I have empathy with your situation. I wish for you to address some help on your next endeavor. I installed the window weather stripping on my 1953 F-100. By myself. It was not easy. And. I have all dexterity with hands,ETC, In the near future I am about to tackle the same task on my 1965 F-100. With my prevoius experience. I will take it slow and easy.
