Title: Weatherstripping
Post by: chopper526 on May 21, 2013, 12:28:43 PM: Hey guys, a couple quick questions; I am working on putting my door glass back in the car. What have you guys used for window channeling? (It looks like the original used two side channels with a foam rubber top) And have any of you put weatherstripping around your doors?

Would recommend him...

Post by: munch on August 12, 2013, 03:20:41 PM: Not yet, I am asking that same question on another post. I was told to look at Steele Rubber, but there is so much I wanted to see what has been successful with others.

Post by: chopper526 on August 14, 2013, 01:15:24 PM: Yes, you are right. I have a Steele catalog and have been on their site. They have so much to choose from. Without using someone else's experience it is hit or miss/trial and error.
