Philip W....I feel (and know) your frustration.
I too spent many hours trying to get these 914Rubber triangle rubber seals into place without much luck. I was ready to kill something for sure. Wasted many hours on something that should be fairly straightforward. I agree that the seals are too long to fit into the front part of the slot where they reside. I actually had some success with one side with modifying the triangle seal for better fitment. It required my wife's sharpest kitchen knife and some wire cutters. The forward part of the seal that is supposed to fit into the same groove as the inner door seal needs a lot of trimming for it lay in there correctly. I'll try to put some pics tomorrow on what I did and why.... I'm going at this a bit differently in fitting the rubber seal first, then coming in with the long window guide and quarter window next. I'm not trying to put the guide, window and seal into the door as a unit due to the fitment issues with the seal. Stay tuned and I'll post some more tomorrow. This is my last big task for the reassembly....getting these dang windows and doors put together. Ugh.... |
