For those of you who installed new weather strip on your C4 and didn't use glue, how is everything holding up? I'm just starting to do the weather strip on my 92 and I'm not using any, and it seems to be on pretty tight. I also noticed my fiberglass top is starting to seperate from the top frame. It is just barely, but I have ran a search and other members have had the same issue and fixed it by themselves. I'm wondering what they used for sure, and how it is holding up.

only glue the ends if you'ld like, works fine on mine, 3M glue works good on the tops, get it in between the frame and the top, clamp it , leave it overnite.

Amazing who you'll bump into on here!

I just started looking at the forum again a few days ago when I posted about some tires.

Ever get your heater core replaced?
