Topic: Front Vent Window (Wind Wing) Rubber Seals

  I am getting ready to install the rubber seals for the wind wings (the old seals were removed a dozen years ago).

Are these riveted in? Is glue also used?

Thank you all in advance.

  No glue is needed nor required. The seals are riveted in two places as I recall. A bit of advice? Install both "open ends" first and insert the rivets near each end. Then work the remainder of the strip in place. A little glass cleaner acts as a lubricant and makes this installation easier to accomplish.

  Mike,

Thank you for the advice, sir! It worked great!

I have now replaced the rubber seals for the rear windows, the rear wind wings, and the front wind wings.

This required plastic tools, lots of soapy water, and a great deal of *@!&*$@*!!!, but it is now done!

  Sir? Mike works just fine

Glad you got all of that accomplished. The vent windows seem to be the most "trying" in my opinion.
