Before breaking this plastic piece, thought I'd ask how to properly install.

Does the outside window rubber need to be removed to install this piece?

It appears the same screw securing window channel holds this piece in place as well. What is the small hole in door right beneath where this piece goes for?

If the scraper rubber hasn't shrunk, it may need to be removed for installation. The hole is for the screw that holds it in place. If you have to remove the scraper, use a light lube to slide it back in place.

One more thing. Pay close attention to which way the rubber comes out!

I think you have the wrong part. The hole in the door is for a small screw that hold that end piece on.

Right part. The hole in the stop is where the screw goes once it's pushed into place

It looks like the outer window rubber "track" fits where I have screw driver pointed.

I see how to pull window rubber out of track but if track needs to be removed, how is this done?

This is starting to look like the door panel and just about every other piece needs to come apart to install this piece.

John, after a closer inspection of your pic and my car, Mark V is right. You have the wrong part. There should be a rubber lip that goes on the outside of the door that the screw goes into.

Sorry MarkV

Is what I have for a early car? Mine is a '73. It looks like the perfect part to fill the void.

Anyone have a pic of what this is supposed to look like put together correctly?

Here's two for sale on ebay from Partwerks. Notice the "flap" that goes on the outside with the screw hole.

I found this pic on pelicans site. The holes appear to line up right but it looks a little short to fill the void I have.

If only I had a pic of piece installed.

B-542-174-10 is the pelican part # for what you need. This is for a later model. What year car do you have? The scraper on your passenger door looks to have shrunk by about an inch of better. You won't fill that void with the end cap.

You have the rubber piece for the early car, the on eyou want comes out over the door and has a hole in it for a very small screw.

It looks like I've got the wrong shit this time around. Window "wipers" should be replaced as well if these are cut to shape as I think they are.

But the question still remains.............in which order does this stuff go in? alignment piece I'm referring to followed by window wiper or the other way around.

A detailed pic sure would help here.

Unfortunately mine need to be replaced too,so I can't supply a good pic, but when i replaced the window scraper I had to remove the guide cap. Put the scraper in first. leave it a little long, and trim it to fit the cap.

The window "squeeges" are put in only after removing the end guide caps. There are right and left "squeeges". They come marked if you bought them from one of hte venders,PP,AA,PA,etc. You can look at the front edge and see which one goes forward and rearward.
The pic shows the right side(bottom) squeege, and left side (top) squeege.
Then you install the rear guide. Don't lose the very small screw, hard to find at your FLAPS.
Good luck.

John,
the part youy have is for a EARLY door.
the early plastic piece is screwed from the inside, not from the back.
early doors don't have that screw-hole.

this part won't fit right, you need to get the plastic for a late model door ...

Thanks for all the help on this one guys. Would have never figured out I had the wrong part without having another car to compare to.
