Well hot diggity
Im doing this tomorrow, must be providence.
Thank you guys. As always, you are lifesavers.
Your series of videos on the Ford truck are fantastic, I'm learning so much!
Glad you like them!
great video....cant wait to see the interior work
Great video! I also happen to be working on replacing the window regulator in my 1st gen Dodge Ram, and decided to go ahead and replace all the weatherstripping while I'm in there. So, it's nice to have a reference for general tips and tricks for installing the weatherstripping. Keep up the good work guys!
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
Liked the tips 👌
Extremely helpful thank you
Love the video. Reminds me of PowerBlock on Spike TV from back in the day
Thanks!
When inserting that vent window rubber, coat it with Armor All... slips right in beautifully. :)
I will sometimes use Windex. It dissipates.
I used a fine wire wheel chucked in a drill to remove the old weather strip glue. Using a light pressure just to remove the glue and not remove any paint.
Great idea, with my attention span, I get mixed results using that method.
Thanks for this vid' !
Even previous to installing my new weatherstripping on my '82 F100 (V6 3.8L 3oT), the drivers side door many times would not close all the way as you showed us !
Now it really needs a massive closing slam. As you mentioned, at first I've been thinking the new weatherstripping is just puffy. But have noticed when opening the door from a solid closure positioning that it seems to feel like the door is dropping down/off a latch a bit.
So been thinking maybe latch(es) need some realignment, and will now also confirm the exterior body alignment first, as you mentioned ! Hopefully a bridge' you mentioned (possibly on a '82 also) was not damaged decades earlier from accumulated "closure stress".
Thanks for posting a video about the '67-'72 F100 weatherstripping! Good tips. What are your thoughts on adding some '73-'79 weatherstripping around the inside of the door? I know it's not stock for a bumpside, but it probably would help seal it up from water and whistling...wouldn't you think?
Great idea
I like the mirriors, love your video's. I have a 1972 f250 and would love to know where to get those mirrors. Any recommendation?
Did ya find them ? From their primary supplier 'NationalParts..'
Insightful video, it's funny, l used to have a 69 Mustang and watch your videos for information. Now, l have a 1984 F150. Quick question, I installed new door seals, but both sides close, yet doors seem open because rubber is to thick. Any suggestions?
Check door fit first. The kit we got is a little stiff, but workable.
Squarebody vent windows are about as much fun. I'll check NPD for weatherstrip for it.
thanks for the video I only did one side before I watch this video now it will ease the pain of doing the other side I have one question did you do the repair of the rusty floor episode before this one.
I still have a rusty floor I need to fix and I'm wondering if it be better to fix that before putting the weather strip in
We did. I would recommend doing the weather strip after you do the floors

Thank you ......
Do you have a weatherstrip for 2003 Pontiac Grand AM GT1 driver side 2 dr coup that goes into the body ?
We don't, sorry.
What do you do if the seal pushes the door out too far?
That depends. If it is like our door, check for correct alignment. Some weatherstrips are not the correct type of rubber and make the doors hard to shut.
Did you have the closing issue before the new stripping? Once I replaced mine, thats when the closing issues began.
Well, they were mostly missing when I bought the truck so I can't speak to that, but after adjusting the alignment today they are shutting a little hard, but completely.
Hey Jeff! Hey Cam! Weird that when you do videos, It Is usually exactly what I am working on! Thanks Jeff, keep em coming sir. Cheers from Motown.
We are watching you Robert...😆😆😆
@@AutoRestoMod And I'am watching you too! Literally! lol
Can you do this again but with a bullnose pickup truck?
Nicely done! BTW why did you install the weatherstripping before painting the interior? I would have thought it would be easier to paint then install the weatherstripping.
Also, you’ve got a nice battery collection going there! 😁
Good point! I just went ahead and did it because I am tired of the draft and wet seats. The correct way to attack that would be all paint first then weatherstrip.
I am about to get rid of any of those batteries that don't wok
Can you buy new vent windows? I have a 1990 bronco and need to replace the assembly because of rust
NPD shows the frames but has them as out of stock.
I have no idea if anyone would see this but i have an issue (apparently a lot do aswell) with the fitting. Apparently really new weathstrips are too thick for the door to close fully. People told me to just keep it shut for a couple of month or use a heat gun to fasten things up. Any other suggestions/ideas?
I agree, the weatherstrips are way too heavy a rubber. Nothing I can think of helps. NPD did a different type for the Mustangs and it made a HUGE difference, not sure they will for the trucks.
@@AutoRestoMod thanks i just subbed. Could you do a video about those 1940s/50s cars? Not many around youtube.
Where did you get that exact Weatherstrip kit for the window?
National Parts Depot.
Hello!, what is the model of the 3M Glue?
08001 for yellow
08008 for black
Go to your local u pull it yard and get the GM style crimp weather strip. It's far superior to the Ford OEM glue on. The net result is fabulous.
Great idea Jed.
you mean where it goes on the flange? You can buy it new.. what are you proposing to get for a donor?
I miss the old school weather stripping it almost never leaks.
NPD carries some really good stuff for the Mustangs, hopefully that will start to trickle down to the other cars.
NPD should sell parts for the Comet
Our other advertiser, Auto Krafters handles that.
If you you new that the door was out of alignment why didn't you do that before installing the new weather stripping
Honestly, I didn't notice it.
Alcohol,,,,,,,,,,,,,, while we’re here. Lol
🤔👍
I hate these jobs - they always take wayyyyyy too long 😂😭🍻
RIGHT?!
Bridge on the door? I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Where’s the bridge?
There is a sheetmetal tab that is spot welded to both doors under the vent window. Check out our episode on Manic Mechanic I've set it to the timestamp where the explanation starts: ua-cam.com/video/P4GIAQIpwhA/v-deo.html
@@AutoRestoMod interesting I didn’t know about this, thx for sharing
