I am replacing the beltline weather strip on the doors of my 86 gt. This strip is on the outside of the glass for both doors but my haynes manual does not tell me how to do this so I am turning to all of you to see if there are some instructions laying around or if you can help me? Please let me know and thank you in advance?

If its the same style as an 89 there is a screw on the outer molding on the inside of the door after you remove that screw the molding just slides on rivet heads. Just slide the molding over to remove it and this will give you access to the belt weatherstrip. Hope this helps
No. Open the door, and look above where the lock is clipped in. You will see one philips screw. Take it out and that molding slides backwards and then off. There are 3 rivets that hold the "Dew wipes" in place. Drill those out...DO NOT BREAK YOUR DOOR GLASS!!!!! and then put the new "dew wipe" on and rivit it back in.
If you don't have rivets that small, just use some 3M weatherstrip adhesive and stick them on that way. I have done that to all of them. I hate those tiny rivets, they usually never fit like the factory ones do.

I just did mine on a 79 I believe the 86 is similar. Theres a small trim screw behind the mirror, remove the mirror, the screw in the trim, and the black or stainless just pops up with some gentle prying. I then removed the dew wipe from my trim and replaced it with the new dew wipe rubber only.
I was talking about the outside weatherstrip "dew wipes". Yes.
But the 79-86's might be different than I remember vs. the 87+
