Roof Rail Weatherstripping on 72 S HT ?

I'm using Metro and it just doesn't seem correct. Does the windows roll up into to weatherstripping or just up against it? Any pictures of a rolled up and slightly down window would be great, thanks

You probably need to adjust the alignment of the window.

I used metro and had to do the exact same thing.

Theres about 6 screws holding the window in alignment once you take off the door panel.

Check out the cutlass fischer body manual (available for free on wildaboutcars)

Sign up, and get great info.

No door panels or fuzzies on yet. Maybe I'm over thinking it.

Hit reply too fast. I have the manual and made plenty adjustment. The glass fits good it just doesn't look right against the seal and not up into it. Maybe I should wait till the fuzzies are on to make final adjustment

You sure it's turned the right way? It fits in a groove.

As far as I can tell there on correct. I don't think the end pins would line up if not. But I will confirm.

Honestly, i bought a PUI set because i'm cheap. They're not exactly the same as OEM look, but it'll have to do. My car is a driver and to save a couple bucks is always worth it for me.

Either way, the only felts that install like orginals are original GM's. The other ones will have to be modified unless you luck out on a set that fits just right.
