Default '63 Hardtop weatherstrip.

Was trying to replace the outer forward weatherstrip on the hardtop today, and wondering if the outboard ends are supposed to tuck under the upper side window w/s.section?
Do I need to loosen these screws and lift up the side w/s?

...or does it just butt up against the side moulding and be glued into place?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Bill.

May want to give Glassworks a call. They will definitely have the answer for you, and they are very helpful to those who are working on their own.

Tanks for the replies guys.
Went to the Glassworks site for some info that helped. No mention of using any adhesive, or evidence of same on my hardtop. I'm assuming that only the ends are glued relying on the clips to hold the rest of the wearher-strip in position.
Sorry, but my old computer won't open pics on this Forum unfortunately, but thanks for making the effort Vark wso
