how the heck do you install new window fuzzy?, this freakin door is taking longer to assemble than the engine did! Options

OK. I got my new front targa seal in finally. I used bubble mix, and with a lot of effort it slid down the side rails into position.

NOW, I'm on the home stretch with the doors. I installed the aluminum channel, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to install the fuzzy weatherstrip. I'm getting real nervous that it has to be installed before the fixed vent window. Say it isn't so!

Any advice????

thanks!

Thanks for the tips.

I just re-re-re-re-removed (lots of fit checks going on here!) the vertical aluminum channel holding the fixed glass. I got the horizontal channel in, using new screws.

Just to be sure, I checked my glass, and it looks like I need to drop it into the door prior to reinstalling the vertical channel as well. Mine's a '76, and there's a big nut welded to the forward steel bracket that's bonded to the glass. It won't fit with the horizontal rail in, but it will fit ahead of it and then can slide back into position.

When I'm done, I'm going to post an assembly sequence. I took this apart 5 years ago, and can't remember the sequence.

By the way, I got 40 #5 x 1/2" stainless flat head sheet metal screws from McMaster-Carr for 99 cents for 10. They are slightly larger than the originals (very close to #4), so they grip in the hole very nicely. I opened up the countersink slightly to make sure they are below flush. They also fit on the aluminum channels on the windshield frame and front of the rollbar.

Let's see what my next obstacle is!
