Here's my exercise in "don=E2=80=99t fix it if it ain't broke:"
Replaced fuzzy door seal , driverside, (piece of cake, I'm on a roll)
Remove and replace driverside waist seal ,inner and outer. What a PITA =
!!!
Followed the directions although I had done this long ago. Lossened the =
window as per instructions but glass got out of the channel, the =
channel fell down,could not fish it out and took an hour to get all =
back together. Clips wouldn=E2=80=99t hold the outer waist seal in =
place, had to resort screws but out of sight. Might have to paint the =
screw heads black to keep them out of sight
Inner waist seal was easier but same problem, the clips would not hold =
the seal in place, had resort to two sided Gorilla tape. The =
concourse judges surely won=E2=80=99t miss this.
Replacing the door card was the same old problem of getting the pins =
back in the door and window handle. Lost the pins, made new ones from =
coat hanger, struggled, finally got them in place now afraid to crank =
the window or open the door for fear the handles will fall off.
Worked about four hours, getting up and down numerous times, I ache all =
over, my back hurts, legs and thighs, went to bed early.
My god, I still have the passinger side to do.=20
