Bronco top restoration and sliding window repair
Вставка

- This video goes through the complete process of taking out and tearing down the windows, replacing seals and weather stripping, reinstalling windows and seals and painting the fiberglass on my 1978 Bronco XLT Ranger.
Tim Wells does this professionally and does wonderful work. He can be reached at tim@chesapeaketruckworx.com or his FB page- Eastern Shore Bronco. Doing this top was my least favorite part of my Bronco's restoration and if I lived closer to Tim, I 100% would have paid him to do it for me.
Resources for the seals as well as step by step instructions came from a blog post and can be found here- www.fullsizebr...
The video on installing window seals can be found at @BroncosandPartsGarage
If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Insta- I'll help as much as I can :)

I wrote that article on FSB as well it was published in Bronco Driver. Makes me happy watching you bring these back
I only hope my daughter does this with my old '79 someday. She was in her mom's tummy the last time the old '79 was taken out camping. She's 8 now and has no idea how cool these rigs are. Thank you for the inspiration to put her back on the road.
Sounds like a perfect daddy/ daughter project!

Girl you are cute ! You have done a fine job on the Bronco . Your perseverance to complete a task is impressive . I replaced the weather stripping in the window channels on the doors of my 86 Bronco ,, and was about to go ballistic with the frustration . Looked easy on UA-cam .I really enjoy watching you solve problems , you always stay so calm . Thank you for sharing your journey with us . Be safe , and stay on the hard top, and just ride around looking pretty .
Thanks John!
love you video !! so much help. I need your help on where to buy the rubber seal for the sliding windows ? Thanks from ALABAMA .
Looks great😎
Where did you find the window seals? I been pickin the internet apart for weeks tryin to find replacement seals for sliding quarter glass topper
I listed my links in the description of the video. I had a hard time too
Oh wow, I'm slow, I completely missed that, my bad lol
Windows, seals, and regulator adjustment are my least favorite, but with quality replacement parts, you don't need to do this stuff often, and it's good to know every part of your vehicle!.
I'll leave the ecm tuning to a tuner, or anything that requires expense software.
But like your truck, I can fix most everything with just a few tools.
You really don't want to see how crusty my slides, and rain seals are either. I probably should replace them 🤔🤣
Eeeeh replacing them is a job for future Seth….
@@broncobabeadventures4316 I suppose I could wait another decade or two 🤣
@@sethwertz1168 Thats the spirit!
Please wear eye protection when working with glass and sharp tools . Especially with screw drivers and the like. That screw driver can pop into your eye quickly. Otherwise good job.
Good reminder!
Oh man, that looked so fiddley, hard pass!
It was!!
