Got Mickey's newest door outer window scraper seals but can't install them with the rear trim pice installed. no amount of pushing/ pulling / colorful language will get the end caps off, even though the tiny retaining screws came out easily. Can't push the seals in vertically , they seem to have to slide in from the back edge.
Do I have to take the door cards or the rear glass sliders off first ??? I know i had installed earlier 914 rubber scrapers on before it went to the body shop, but can't get there anymore, old age ?? |

You can stretch the rubber by pulling it to help press it in. This is the easiest method. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Yes that worked for me with your parts,I then bunched it back up to allow for the rubber relaxing back...it worked as I have no gaps after fitting them a while back. Good part works well,my old ones had gone really hard and worn. |
