But I'm not sure just exactly how the U-channel is supposed to be fastened to the door. I know the lower part of the U-channel clips into a U-channel guide. The old U-channel did not have any clips, nor does the new one. Is it time to pull out the hot glue gun and glue the U-channel to the door window opening? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | I'm at the same spot with my 55.1 and have my glue gun out. I'll be watching here for others advice.
Thanks,

(I think like #4x3/8 sheet metal)The door felt channel in the rear of door had a retainer clip that slid in a retangular hole in door channel.Because mine was a one piece window in a metal frame I made a plywood form and preformed the channel before installing. I would go with black weatherstrip glue. It fits fairly tight and I'm sure this would hold I beleive the 55-1st had a 2 peice channel one in wing frame and one for top & rear Zeke
