Question 1
I am about to rehang my doors on the 49 Burb after new glass, felt channels, etc. The doors had no door weatherstripping when I bought it and doesn't appear to have been removed by the PO. Is this normal for Burbs or should I install a weatherstrip?
Question 2
I have to replace the upper springs in the door hinge. Can someone give me any helpful hints on the do's and don'ts of the process.
This may belong over in the Door Section but wanted to ask here first. Thanks

Steele Rubber had the correct rear door seals.
