I'm getting ready to install the rubber weather strip on my doors, (1953 chevy one ton) and am having a problem. I can't figure out how to get the adhesive onto the front edge of the door. There just isn't enough clearance between the door and the frame to get in there.
And it doesn't help that the hinges are also in the way. Everything I've read says to put the weather strip on after the doors are hung, so that's the way I went, but there must be a trick to it. Any suggestions or advice?

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
