How difficult is it to replace the weatherstrip on a 63 hardtop?

I did the weather strip on my 66 hardtop. Not too bad. Weather strip always seems to be worse thinking about the job than doing it. Only took about 1 1/2 hours. Just be careful lay out all your parts and have the glue handy. All in all a pretty simple job and a great project for a slow evening.

FWIW, one of the major hardtop restoration companies told me that they never use glue on the weatherstrip. I installed mine in under an hour, and that was dealing with some rusty screw holes. Perhaps the reason for the lack if glue is that there is some in-and-out minor adjustment for the weatherstrip to get a better seal at the door glass.
