I am down to what seems to be the biggest pain in the butt. I am attempting to install the drivers and passenger door window seal kit (with fuzzies). I have an aluminum channel that screws (bolts) to the inner part of the door. The old fuzzies just slid right out of it's channel, but when I tried to replace it with the new fuzzy, I am having a real hard time getting the new fuzzy to slide in the channel. Any ideas? Also, does anyone have an installation diagram showing what seals and fuzzies go where? As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

The outer fuzzie is mounted on a alluminum channel that is attached to the door with some tiny phillips head screws. There are three or four holes under the innner fuzzie that give you access to the screw heads to the outer fuzzies. The screws are in holes on the face of the fuzzy and are a pain to get out. Mine were rusted solid. Use some PB Blaster on them before you try to remove them. Once you get the alluminum channel out the fuzzie slides out of the channel.

I just need assistance in advising how the new fuzzies "slide"back in. my fuzzies seem to be just a RCH too wide to slide down the channel. Any hints as to how to slide the new fuzzies back in the old channel? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
