Vent window weatherstrip replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

harshard · 10-19-2009, 07:08 PM

I recently bought new vent window weatherstrip for my '71 Chevy but I am not really sure on how to replace the old stuff. I do not want to damage anything or cost my self more money. I have seen many build threads on here and was wondering if anyone has a thread or pictures on this procedure. Thanks, Shawn

Just for reference...Note, aftermarket seal (#3) is in two seperate pieces not one as shown

OEM seals are also 2 piece. Use a pop rivet gun...it makes your life a whole lot easier.
