Any threads on installing weatherstip?
I have never done weatherstrip before so if there is a thread explaining the do's and don'ts I'd love to read it. Don't want to make any mistakes with having to glue it in. I can't just look at what and where the old stuff is since it's not even there 
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi AS,
There have been some pretty extensive threads about weatherstrip installation. Try member GD70.
From my experience it's a good idea to trial/dry fit EVERTHING using painter's tape first. Then go back and glue it in place a small section at a time.
It's also a good idea to have the AIM handy so you can see where the many fasteners and clips go.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

thanks Alan, I do have the AIM so I'll see if I can find the page/section where it describes installing weatherstrip. Will also see if I can't track down the thread from GD70

Thanks Mike. I did get the WS on today except the A pillar, the blowout clips that are riveted to it how do you get that off, I imagine the dremell will do the job but then how do you reconnect the new ones - new rivets?
