THANKS | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | They are often referred to as a lock strip tool. your local auto parts store "should" stock them. here is a link to sears this is the one in my toolbox. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | I may be off, but if I remember correctly, I think Pete told me

Is there a trick to make the installation easy ? | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | Is there a trick to make the installation easy ? Not really I use water based lube and just take my time. that tool should come with four different sized tips find the one that works best in the groove it should have plenty of room for the lock strip a warm gasket helps just be careful not to tear or gouge it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Thanks.

Is there a trick to make the installation easy ? hotshoe,I realise this is on an 'old fashioned' AD truck,but the technique is exactly the same.... Rear window and lock strip install.
