Door Weather Stripping
Could someone please post a picture of their single wall top to door glass weather stripping where it goes over the drip catcher. I've got new seals and that looks pretty straight forward, but I also have a set of drip catchers to install and I don't want to figure it out the hard way (by doing it wrong the first time). I take it the drip catchers do in first then the stripping goes on top of them. I would use the weather strip glue on the top. and then when I remove it the drip catcher would go stay on the top?
A close up pic. of that area would be great. I did a search but the only pics I found were not displaying (X). Thanks, Gibber |

Re: Door Weather Stripping
Nice try 70CST. I really thought this would be an easyone for somebody....guess not. Is nobody running the drip catchers? I had them on a previous '72 Jimmy and I thought they worked quite well.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
Wow... I hadnt seen that before. So... everytime you remove your single wall top, you have to thread that aparatus in there and screw it down... or am I just looking at it wrong?
Thanks, Tom |

Re: Door Weather Stripping
Ya, pretty much. On my last Blazer I just left them attached to the top so I had to put the two screws into the window frame every time I put the top on. Not a big deal really for me since I usually just take my top off in the spring and put it back on in the fall.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
The two screws that thread into the window frame need to be removed before top removale.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
To be honest. I think the tops leaked from the factory.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
What kind of weatherstip adhesive are you guys using? I used the black 3M stuff and it only lasted a little while before all my weatherstrip came off. What kind is the best for lasting? Thanks, Jeff.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
I used the black loctite kind and the 3m stuff. The loctite seems to hold a little better.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
I have found that the weld wood contack cement beats everything else for ease of use and holding.

Re: Door Weather Stripping
are you putting it on both surfaces, letting it tack up, then assembling it? That's the way it was described on My Classic Car...
