Its so hard to get it in that some folks clean and "open" the track some and then it won't hold the stripping so just pinch it back together while holding it in with a screw driver. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 | As I installed the windlace in my '53 I would periodically tap on a spot with a rubber mallet after the windlace was where I wanted it so it would'nt move or come out as I worked my way around the door opening. You just have to strike it hard enough to pinch the metal track down onto the rubber. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 19 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 19 |
