Door weatherstrip question
« on: August 30, 2007 - 01:47:26 PM »
I got new door weatherstripping for my 73 Barracuda. It looks fairly straightforward except the rubber strips on the outside of the door at the bottom of the window. These are screwed in. I have the door panels off but I can't reach the screws even with the window pulled all the way to the inside of the door. Do the windows have to be removed to attach these things?

There are rubber stops in the bottom of each door. Remove these and you can roll your glass farther down to access the screws for the catwiskers.

Thanks! That worked pretty well except that I broke one of the bumpers getting it out. I was able to fix it though. Now I just need to figure out how to adjust the window - it seems that it's waaaay out in the rear and really pushes against the weatherstrip (and leaves a small gap between the windows).

Are those rubber stops repoped or available anywhere?

They are probably in the body bumper kits but I'd have to check to be sure.

Just to get you by for the time, you can get a screw into the slot on the bottom of the door to hold the block.
