72 CS Door weatherstripping

In the next few weeks I am looking into replacing my decrepit weatherstripping, I read some of the prior threads about how using the Metro brand from rockauto.com would be ideal. I will also be using the 3M adhesive & adhesive remover, should I buy any special tools for the project? Thanks in advance.

Nope, a small flat blade screwdriver will do just about all you need.

You will also need a sharp utility knife and some wood or plastic scrapers to remove dried adhesive. Popsicle sticks or sections cut from a CD work well on the cheap.

Make sure you save the little black plastic 'push-pins' if they come out intact. If they do not, you might need to buy some. The ones that came in my metro kit were horrible - the heads broke off from finger pressure.
Aside from that minor issue (which could have been fixed since then), the product is great!

Well that pretty much covers it. But I'll add rubber gloves for those who hate getting that stuff on their hands.
