62- Door Post weatherstrip clips and wires install

[Anthony P.]

Can someone please post a close up picture of the door post clips showing the small wires that go with the clips? I am not sure exactly how far they stick in or if they go into the rubber at an angle. Refer to the attached item #1 in my pic.

Looking at the small diagram in the AIM section F, P12, it looks like two of clips #2 go on the upper 2 of door post locations, and one of #3 is the bottom one on the door post, correct? What style clip goes on the actual door just below the door post?


Thanks again,
Tony

Tony,
If you have a Doc Rebuild catalog the clips location are pictured.
Otherwise the straight clip goes on the top but not on 61 and 62 Corvettes.
The 2 prong clips with the centered hole go in the next 2 positions.
The other 2 prong clip with the offset hole goes at the bottom.
On original weatherstrip the wire is molded in the weatherstrip. To simulate the original wire the new type wires are just placed into the weatherstrip.
Note that early 62 cars and late 62 cars use a different number of clips but I am not sure of the differences.
Hopefully Mike Ernst will help on this question.
