The OEM version. I think my technique was easier, you can be the judge.

::: Can I comment yet? ::: Frickin' awesome. Thanks for a great thread! Yes, I just wanted to group it all together. This is not too difficult, just be patient and take your time. Fitting the seal in and the rear track take some playig with to get them right. Other than that it just takes time. You more than likely will have to play with the adjustments to seat the window correctly. |

I def need the internal fuzzy track. I have the one for up-top, but the tracks would be a good idea for me to replace while I'm in there.

Ditto that. I've been meaning to dig around to get the window adjustment steps for a while, but now you have just put it all together in one place for us! AWESOME!!! |

I did not follow that. Can you come install mine? Just kidding. Great instructions. But will have to order a few more parts.

You can then install the inner door fuzzy and the door panel Fantastic Mark Thanks How do you attach the rubber scraper after you have the rolling window re-inserted ? I've been trying to get the window in afterwards since I couldn't get it to slide though the gap space in the aluminum top. George O. |

I can only speak for the late, but the key is getting the window regulator out of the way so you can maneuver the window. Also you can't get it in with the rear track in. if its a late just follow the order above. |

Mark,
On the early style door the triangle seal has a piece that projects through the seal at the base of the triangle window. It appears the later style window doesn't have the same piece. Is it best to cut through the seal or remove the metal piece on the window frame to fit the seal? Thanks, Jule |

I don't have an early car. The part number is the same for all years so that should indicate the seal can be used for both. I know there are differences in that area, but I'm thinking that modification of the seal would not be required.
Any early guys want to provide some input? |

Ive found that support on later doors as well.
Ive tried to avoid the early door due to wonky regulator. The 10mm bolt access hole seems to exist on all door frames but the nut plate/brkt. may or may not exist depending on dr. I have a picture somewhere |

Seconding the motion to make this thread a classic, if for no other reason than I'm in the middle of this and it's SUPER helpful—and it was harder than usual to dig up via search.
Thanks, Mikey!! |

Mark, On the early style door the triangle seal has a piece that projects through the seal at the base of the triangle window. It appears the later style window doesn't have the same piece. Is it best to cut through the seal or remove the metal piece on the window frame to fit the seal? Thanks, Jule Sorry, bumping an old thread as I'm trying to install the triangle seal this weekend, and I just ran into the same basic issue Jule describes above. I have a '72 door, and the seal seems to have a slit at the front and back in the channel where the metal tabs that mount it to the door fit though (sorry, terribly worded sentence). Before I cut into my beautiful, brand new, fairly expensive 914Rubber seal, to create those slits, has anyone done anything different? If I do that I guess I'd put some sort of adhesive in the channel to seal those slits back up after getting the metal tab in up front and at the base. |

You can cut a relief in the back of the seal or remove the metal bracket. Mine are a replica of the ones currently available OEM.
