This is one of the jobs I never finished. I installed new rubber squeegies in the doors and when I operate the windows, they pull out. Tried a little glue, but it doesn't hold. Any ideas
Here's how I did it. First, Mark sent me a new set of them and they look more pronounced if I can use that term. I worked the metal some more. It was a bit bent up.  Then I slid the rubber in with the help of a little soap. Lastly, I use a set of pliers that had been modified for pulling plug wires. They were perfect because then crimped the edge of the metal without touching the rubber.  |

I got new ones from 914 rubber. Mine pull out in the middle every time I lean my arm on them. I eventually just removed them. To save weight... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Well, to save me from going crazy.
Weird... I think the new soft rubber may be too soft to stay in the extruded aluminum thingy. Perhaps you could remove the aluminum and peen in several places to keep it in. |
