You are absolutely correct snake. I tried this repair without removing the door panel and it was a huge mistake. With the panel off this repair is a piece of cake. Besides, it only takes about 10 minutes to remove the panel anyway!

I also replaced the inner seals while I had the door panels off--Mine were stapled in and after easing the staples out , I used pop rivets to refasten the inner seals -- will be easier the next time to drill out rivets than prying those staples out! :yesnod:

Default You have excellent timing!

Hey, I just ordered my new strips today and was about to post a question on how to do it the "right" way as opposed to the short cut way they show here in the forum. This step by step article explains all the questions I had. You're the man!
Thanks Dude! :yesnod:
