weather stripping install question
I just installed the new weather stripping on the rear hatch. Not to bad.
Now I am on the roof behind your head that goes down both sides.
I did watch a video on it but still have a question.
I have a 1984. I need to use 3M sealant/glue?
I do not really see where you push the weather stripping down in. Is it between the plastic and the metal? I does not look like their any thing on the back side to push it down in. I do see several screw holes.
thanks

When you remove the old weather strip you should see the track. Once you put the new stuff on, the top will be a bugger to get on the first couple of times until the new weather strip compresses a little. ( at least mine was)

MXW128 is right about that. My wife had to put her weight on the top so I could fasten it down after replacing the weatherstrip gasket. I didn't take the top off again for a month. By then, the gasket had conformed nicely. The original owner had put the top back on incorrectly, warping the gasket and forcing me to replace it, so be careful.
