installing door weather striping

[Mel S.]

Any good suggestions on how to apply the weather striping on the doors of a c2. Start from the hinge side? The lock side? I know that the adhesive is "non" forgiving. Once on good luck. I do not want to start adhering it and then when i get to the other side have it too long or short.
Thanks
Mel

originally the two ends of the W/S met about half way back on the bottom of the doors. mike

I have never done it, but I would tape it on with blue painters tape, and then slowly go around with the cement. Just my two cents.

That's true on coupes but convertibles have formed ends and are a bit tricky to get in the proper position.

For a general "How to" look on-line for a video by Steele Rubber Products "How to glue weatherstrip" showing the proper glue application. A lot of people just slather 3M adhesive on and press the WS on until it stops moving which results in a mess. I usually pre-fit the WS and put a piece of tape at the halfway point so I'm only worrying about aligning 1/2 at a time.

Does anyone have a clear picture of the way the weatherstripping is installed?
