Re: IML: Reproduction rubber Window seals (and all other rubber trim for that matter)

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I doubt you would be getting much rain water coming in from above the glass. 
If the water is mostly on the front floor, the more likely problem would be 
the little "shelf" near the windshield pillars. This is the place you see 
with the door open. These are pretty much the same from 60-66, with the 
exception of the 64-66 having a piece of weather-strip on top. Below that 
rubber piece is a stainless piece held down by 1 screw. That piece is there 
to channel water to the outside. That channel often gets full of debris & 
backs up inside the car & or is rusted leaking. There should also be a thin 
formed piece of weather-strip on the leading door edge above the upper hinge 
to help steer water outside.

Will,

I've got my Lebaron convertable that has the crooked/shifty windows,
and I haven't tried tackling that yet.  If you have any insights that
might help me for when I get there (and others to read this later),
I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks,
-Jason
