weatherstripping

[HillbillyDelux]

i got new window channel weatherstripping and fussies i got the ones for the drivers door all put in but now my window seems very tight and is hard to roll up and down. any thoughts?

[1971fordcustom]

There new parts so there gonna be stiff, After time they will losen up so its better to roll up da glass

[fordman]

try some windex on the glass. it might help. but new stuff will make it harder to roll them up and down.

[HillbillyDelux]

okay. that makes sense. thanks guys. gotta love the no rattles. cant wait til better weather so i can do the passenger door

[HillbillyDelux]

finally got the passenger side door done too boy is that new weatherstripping sweet. not only does it not whistle roar rattle or make noise but the water dont leak in anymore when i wash the truck. i might jus go post it in the best bump mods thread haha

Where did you get the weather stripping?

[BobbyFord]

At the Ford dealer we used silicone spray on the channel fuzzies to reduce drag on the glass and make it easier to roll up & down.

i cant remember now if i got it from npd or paddock

NPD is local to me... What do you guys think of their weatherstripping over Dennis Carpenters? Well DC is close to me as well but thought I'd ask here since we are already on the subject. From what I know DC has great rubber and felts but what about NPD as well? I know sometimes NPD sell DC stuff.

[HillbillyDelux]

im really satisfied with mine. ill look to see who i got it from cuz i cant remember.
wat part of nc u from?

[SMF Speed&Custom]

I am JUST south of Charlotte. Waxhaw to be exact. About 15 minutes from SC border. How do the new rubbers work in the vent windows? I am wanting to make them completely whistle free and no wind noises either. Does any noise come in from that at all? I plan to put the rubber on the vents and keep them closed for good and not open and close them all the time.

[HillbillyDelux]

idk about the vent window rubbers i havent replaced those yet mine are still in decent shape and dont really whistle. i am gettin some noise around the door itself tho so that rubber is next on the list

btw are ya gonna go to the autofair?

[SMF Speed&Custom]

I am going to TRY to go to the autofair but I have a big rapelling training class at Charlotte Fires training tower Saturday and Sunday and work all day Friday. After training on Saturday I am going to try and go to it though. I need to look for some fenders for my 63 Nova Wagon so would like to go up there and see what they have. I used to go to the autofair every time but stopped for a few years because it was all the same old junk and same high prices. When I worked in the hot rod shop I didn't care to go because I dealt with old cars all day everyday and didn't want to see another one haha. I'll let you guys know if I head up there and if so maybe we can all meet up somewhere. I will drive my 66 F100 up there most likely after I bleed my brakes tomarrow.
