Hello all. I am in the middle of installing glass on my 53 3100. I ordered a complete window glass run set. It included both the rubber and whisker door window sweeps. Wanted to know how you guys attacked these. First off, how did you get the rubber sweep into the groove that it fits into? It looks like you could lube it up with soap and slide it in from where the vent window pillar is. I gave that a try this afternoon. Granted it was 116 outside today. The garage, was at least that warm. So, I may have given up a little sooner than I should have. The rubber sweep, is really deep also. It is a good 3/4 of an inch, from front to back. It has been awhile, since I have seen one in an AD door. I don't remember them being quite wide. Do I need to shave some of it off? I think that would make it easier to slide it into its groove. Next question concerns the wisker sweep, on the inside. Mine were previously attached with staples. There are holes in the inside window surround. Has anybody had any luck fastening them in place using staples. If so, how did you do it? The kit supplies enough staples to do the job. I think that I have read on previous posts, that some of you recommend using some very small black screws, that will screw down below the surface of the whiskers. Thus eliminating them from rubbing and scratching the glass.
Sorry for the long winded questions. I appreciate all of you advice and direction.
Thanks,
Rugo
