Yes, I just cant fit my hands or anything down inside there with the window motorDid you unbolt the bracket?
So your saying I should use a stirring stick or a stick of some kind to line up the weatherstrip with the window then roll the window up and it should seal the weatherstrip?I used a paint stirring stick to push it in. Down by the motor if it is lined up the window itself should push it in all the way. An alternative would be remove the window motor. It is only 3 bolts.
Me to.... the Install wasn’t bad at all and product looks great and held up fine.I used theirs, and install wasn't too bad for me?
No no. You use the stir stick to push the wthr strp back into the channel. I just did the pass side on my 92LX. Its not super tough but it kinda blows. Er at least my old shoulder didnt care for it. I used a piece of round rod to push the front end into the channel. Its certainly tight. The first couple times i had gaps in the back corner and a small spot in front. Even w new motors i still had to push it up the last bit the first dozen times. I suspect when it gets hot outside itll finally relax. Couple things im gna do for the driver side. I know most ppl dont have access to some “purple murple”(slick stuff we use in the plant for installing rubber bits) so maybe lil soap n water. I saw someone suggest silicone spray and even lith grease(huge no no). Sillycone might help it slip in better but its gna stay slick. Once the soap n water dries its gna stay where ya put it. The new strip is currently being held in a U shape with about 100 tywraps since it comes rolled flat. Finally n this is tough, in the plant we keep bits like this under a heat lamp/in an oven till the operator installs it, so if ya can warm it up some how. Heat lamp, an old halogen flood lamp. Hell put that b!%h in front of the heat register. Or wait till a hot ass august day Then work it work it work it. Drive that bugger ALL the way up, push it the rest of that way if you hv to and snug up the guide rod(lith grease here only). Guide rod is big. Helps keep the glass from rocking back n getting stuck. Oh oh and i saw someone say they were gna cut the bottom ends back. Yeah dont do that. The back is negligible and the front should jus barely be rubbing the glass(2 bolts- 1 above n 1 below th window motor). Hope this helps … someone.

3M “Yellow Death” weatherstrip adhesive comes in black. It should outlast the car and the weatherstripping,Yes you can cram the weatherstrip down the channel but
The best way is to remove the glass first
Use weatherstrip adhesive find the black stuff not the natural color stuff
Patience as the glue dries blue painters tape to hold it in position
we used to call that old yellow stuff camel snot back in the day3M “Yellow Death” weatherstrip adhesive comes in black. It should outlast the car and the weatherstripping,
I would not recommend using any adhesive for these as it isn’t needed and changing it again is a night mare if you do .Yes you can cram the weatherstrip down the channel but
