Steele part is thicker and slightly bigger, but a cruder casting. This is the front of the driver's side front window molding. Metro is a better looking part, but a bit smaller.

Should the front window trailing edge sit more or less flush against the rear window leading edge?

Should I adjust the windows to make this gap a lot smaller?

Do additional seals reduce noise? These are oversize and there's one extra in search of minimum wind noise. Is it time to start fresh from factory?

Start fresh from factory? Or do more seals usually help reduce noise?

Nudge this forward 1/8" to tighten the door-to-A_Pillar seal? Or does this look right?

Reproduction seals don't leak and don't seem to make noise. Are they right from what you can see here?

Use the depth gauge feature on your caliper to measure the height of your qjet primary rod arms - get 'em equal for consistent side to side fuel metering.

Use the center pin to place the button correctly in your upholstery, looking at it from the front (aka visible) side. Use the strings to tie it in place if the pin isn't long enough.

Heat and solvent help remove the 3M mastic sealant. Heat also helps liquify it for reinstallation. Heat the parts on the bench, not your windshield.
