beyond frustrated- i am going to have to source a replacement assembly with a good adjuster- anyone have one send my way cheap or free??
spent the better part of the last 4 hours trying to get the doors done. unable to complete because the drivers door bottom adjuster nut that is attached to the front track that also holds the triangle window was rusted bad and snapped off- second was , before that happened being unable to get triangle glass seal in(too long) and down enough so could not get door to shut. pulled it all back out and now i cant decide how to proceed!

Have you tried the URO vent glass seals to compare? After all of this frustration, it is just not worth continuing to fool with a seal that is hard to fit. We often try several different brands before finding one that works best. Right now there are factory, URO and 914 rubber.
Fitting the seals and getting the doors and windows to close properly and not leak IS a hassle no doubt |

Right now there are factory, URO and 914 rubber. Fitting the seals and getting the doors and windows to close properly and not leak IS a hassle no doubt George, I have not tried another. I could get a factory one from our parts dept at local dealer, and I know you have the URO in stock as well, I am looking at getting their rear targa trim pieces. The windows came out smooth and the seals were in fairly good condition, I didn't really have a leak problem at that location, I should have left alone and reinstalled them as is but I cant go back now. I might just for comparison sake try and get one of the other brands to see where or if there is variation. This is the first timei have had any issue with a 914rubber seal. |
