The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Cab windlace

I was wondering if I might be able to get some tips on the best way to install the cab windlace rubber on the steel tracks in the cab around each door?

Thank you

Open up the crimped sections around the rail, use lots of Dawn dish wash soap and don't be afraid to use lots of bad language.

alans tips

I installed the windlass on my 50 a couple of weeks ago.
I attempted alans method first. But I ended up just laying one edge of the bevel in the channel, then using my favorite busted tip Kline screwdriver worked the other end in the channel.

I took a wire tooth brush and cleaned the channel

Opened up the channel with that old broken tip screw driver .

Then started working it around the channel.

This was the most frustrating project I did on the truck. Cursing included

It took me about an hour to do each door working alone.

I did have to trim the windlass where it comes up against the dash.

With some help the slide method may be eaiser. Im just glad it done!

Good Luck
