Hello all,

I am currently replacing all the weatherstripping on my windows. For those who have gone through this process, which pieces did you use adhesive on and which pieces did you put together without adhesive?

The vent window seems like it might not need it but the channels with the mohair would. Any input on this whole process would be greatly appreciated. Getting this all back together the correct way seems easier said than done.

Thanks in advance!

Phil,

It has been so long since I replaced rubber seals, and have yet to replace everything, but remember using using sealant for all rubber seals, expect perhaps that vertical door glass that securely slides up the channel. I might have even put some there to keep it from moving around. Perhaps others have more recent experience and better memory!

Thanks for the reply Jason!

It seems trickier than I thought on the vent window.

Hopefully some others can pipe in on their experiences!

Thanks again!

Phil

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
