How Do You Fit Those Chrome Window Seal Strips


Best Answer Cooperman , 28 February 2015 - 01:24 PM

When you tap the strip onto the clips make sure the window glass is wound fully down. I had a window glass which was about 1 mm too high and when I tapped it with a rubber mallet, guess what. DOH :shy: .

Quick question, how do you fit those chrome window sealing strips that go on the inside and outside of a wind up window door?

Do you push the clips on first....or slide the clips into the moulding then push the whole lot on together..

Slide clips into channel - equally space them with one at each end and then push down firmly. Persuade with a rubber mallet if needed.

So would you fit the clips onto the door first then push the moulding over the top?
