I just finished removing my door seals. I haven't seen the new ones yet,
but the old ones were not glued in any form. The original weather strip I
believe has a metal spring like quality to it that causes it to stay on the
mounting lip. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this, as I will be
doing mine in the next few weeks.
I plan to use something very much like 3M spray contact adhesive for my
vinyls, but haven't yet looked at what is currently available. I have used
it in the past for light veneer work, and liked the results.

Subject: Interior Questions - '72 TR6
Hi all!
Looks like it's finally time to _really_ get to work on my '72 TR6.
I am preparing to redo the interior panels and crash pads, and I'd like
to hear any tricks to doing this work. I've seen the VB guide to
interiors, and just received my parts from TRF.
I do have a couple of specific questions:
- When re-installing the crashy pads atop each door, do I use a trim
adhesive (like 3M) to hold the crash pads on? Any other tricks while I
am doing this?
- I am also going to replace the dash. I have the new dash and the
windshield frame to body weather strip. Should I use a sealant here?,
or will the waether stripping be sufficient? Any other words of wisdom
on this part?
Thanks in advance, I hope this doesn't take too long, weather's supposed
to be great here later in the week.
