Windshield pillar weatherstrip replacement ?
Wanted to know if anybody has experience with replacing the weatherstripping at the windshield pillar on a 1980. It looks as though there is a metal piece that should also be replaced . Is that metal piece rivited or how is it attached ? Should I use the black or yelow glue ? Any advice appreciated . Brent

I used the black weatherstrip adhesive, and it worked well.
One of my metal brackets was gone already, and the aftermarket weatherstrip didn't fit under the metal piece that was there, so I took it off, and there seems to be no problem. The metal piece was rusted, so I couldn't tell for sure, but I think it was riveted. I ground it off.

By the way, I used yellow 3-M adhesive.
