Weatherstripping
Looking to install new side window vertical weatherstrips, have correct pair( I believe) for late 69 coupe. Looking for any tips, help etc. on swap.
Any screws? Clips? Glue etc. thank you

Hi C,
It's a good idea to dry-fit the piece first so you can see how the vertical lip on the weatherstrip fits into the weatherstrip retainer flange.
Also mark the vertical position so you don't have to slide the weatherstrip up or down once you've applied the glue and put the strip in place.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Hi Greg,
I didn't mention the lower hole because I wasn't sure if 69s used it.
I don't see it in the drawing Mike posted.
My 71 has a pop rivet at it's bottom. (Set from the inside.)
