weatherstrip procedures
I am converting my 1972 to electric windows and replacing the t-top, main door, a pillar and b pillar weatherstrips. Is there a certain order that I should do the weatherstrips in? I have all the old weatherstrips off and all cleaned and prepared for the new.

I recently installed weatherstripping on my 68. I really did not follow any particular order. I think one of if not the most important thing is to apply the adhesive properly. I used 3M. I taped off the areas where I did not want adhesive and ran a thin bead between the taped area. I used a popsicle stick to spread and thin the bead down. I did the same on the piece of weather strip. Allow bothe surfaces to dry to touch. Apply a very thin line of adhesive on one of the areas again and stick together. The adhesive works like contact adhesive.
