Ok, so I am coming down the home stretch to getting my car back on the =
road.
Down to a million things left to do. One is reassembling the hard top. =
And
that includes the weather stripping at the case between the B pillar and =
the
back where the top meets hinge coupling on trunk. Folks, that big tough
weather stripping is just plain tough to install in the small retainers. =
So
I must be doing something wrong. I cannot imagine installing these =
pieces on
an assembly line! My process is to soap everything down so that it is
slippery, then put one edge into the =93c channel=94 and use, currently,
popsicle sticks to push the other side on the weather stripping into the =
c
channel. But I gotta tell ya, I must be using the wrong tool, lol or not
saying enough bad words or something.  This is way harder than it should =
be.
What am I doing wrong? The ones around the doors and windows are stuffed
with soft foam weather stripping and are reasonably easy to do , but =
that
hard top uses all hard rubber.=20

=20

Any comment or suggestions out there.=20

Headed out in a few minutes to begin round 10 and I am nearly down for =
the
count=85.

=20

Oh, and another issue is the corner rubber pieces., They do not fit very
well. Will they assume proper shape when installed and the on the car? =
Or
should I make them fit beforehand They just do not fit that odd shape =
well
using the holes and metal retainer plate. If placed into what looks to =
be a
better fit, the body holes and rubber holes are off by more than =BD =
inch. =20

=20

More comment?=20

=20

Regardless of what you might think, I do appreciate you help and =
comments!
