Thumbs up Re: 53 door weatherstrip

Hey Milo,

Check out Alan Horvath's site.

http://www.alanhorvath.com/54chevy/index.php

The line above the picture of his truck is a pull down menu the lists his progress of jobs done in fine detail that's a great resource from a guy that has done most of his own work. The installation of the seals is in there somewhere as he installed soem he didn't like, removed them and installed some better quality ones the second time........nothing like learning from experience!
Good Luck

Don't forget the seal inside the door glass chanel what wipes the window and slowes the water from running down the glass.

Hey Solidaxle,

Re: 53 door weatherstrip

I think I opened up the slot a bit and used liquid soap, I have slept since then as it was 4 years ago!
Take your time and do one at a time!!!
