Quarter glass weatherstrip

Kisner · 11-12-2001, 12:11 PM

I need to replace the leading edge rubber weatherstrip on my 68 coupe's quarter glass. I see one screw holding one end in (which I can't break loose) but am not sure how the rest of the rubber is inserted. Does anyone know if it's glued in, pressed in, or just exactly how to replace it? Thanks.

Answered my own question. Finally got one of the screws loose on the passenger-side glass and the rubber slid right out from a groove in the frame - real easy to replace. Now the other problem - the screw on the driver-side glass is rusted shut. Anyone know of a really good penetrant that might be able to loosen that screw up, or any other tricks to get it out?

PB Blaster is a really good penetrant. Works pretty nicely on rust and build up.

Try that or just use a real stiff wire brush with a drill motor. Try to dig or grind enough of the rust out to get the screwdriver tip to catch.

Hope this can help a little.
