I don't know about you but it still felt weird to me. When I worked nights and did that it felt kind of strange, I don't know why. It was always funny to see people's reactions to hearing that I drank alcohol at 8:30 in the morning.

when you thought you have seen bad weatherstripping wait till I post pictures of the weatherstripping on this car. I told my best friend his weatherstripping on his 90 looks show condition compared to what was on this one his reply cant be that worse, then he finally saw what bad weather stripping is.

probably post pics of that this weekend since this will be the next big expense.
Sounds like my old stripping before I ripped it all off. On the halo along the area where the window contacts it, I could poke it and it would let out a nice audible "crunch" with black power and tons of crumbs falling onto the floor.

Get good stuff to replace it. OEM GM is the best but very expensive..I didn't use it and now have a bit of a leak. The real stuff has that accordian wire in it and is much more substantial, also fits perfect. Some of the repro stuff is just foam rubber and does not have all the little dodads needed for a perfect fit.

Yeah, I found the accordian wire on top of the halo. I still to this day wonder why something in so small a quantity of use is so expensive to replace.
