Do they go on the body or the doors? Anyone have any of install pics? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,252 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!!

That's what I thought, but when I took it apart the seals were on the body, well about 20% of them anyway. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | As MNSmith says they do go on the doors.....I got carried away and put the dang stuff on the edge of the left door over the catches and stuff. It don't go over them and I had to take it back off....dummy me! I will make a comment to leave the weather stripping a little long, on the left top, in the very center or you'll see "daylight" between the two doors when shut, right at the very top center.....hope you can understand what I'm trying to say? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,252 "Hey!

So what are the chances the door portions are the same? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Not sure I understand the question? Are you talking about rear hinges or front hinges? The front hinges are easy. The two top hinges have the little horse shoe springs to hold the door open. Not sure about the rear hingss. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 86 | No sorrry, the barn door hinges | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 86 | I couldn't get the pins out so I had a couple sets I used to make one set not realizing there was any difference between top and bottom | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 18 | Hi guys seems like forever since I've posted anything. I'm. Looking for the inner trim for the back windows on both left/right for 52 suburban. Got any ideas? Also I was reading some thread regarding drainage for side windows on suburban. Is it possible to run drain tubes all the way down to holes at the bottom of the body and developed some kind of "snake device to clean out tubes periodically? Also, I finally am very close to my suburban completion and thought it would be cool to post some pics of a very long process from start to completion.
