I just wanted everyone to know that I Finally got all the weather striping done. I also discovered that the new rubber is larger than the old stuff. When I adjusted the glass I had to adjust it back some and then a tad lower. ALso I had to Adjust the T top seal  a little tighter so the door window would seal properly. I used some silocon spray on all the T top stripping to get the tops to settle into place.  I hope this helps other folks.

is it bigger or was the original shrunk from age? either way as ace said every tip helps. only thing i wish is that the diagrams for adjusting the windows were  clearer (mine are electric). glad you had success.Thumbs%20Up

Mine are lectric to. It was an Experience. One thing I forgot. when you move the glass back and forward, loosen  the bottom guide. It works easier.

Yeah, but its still as much a black art as it is a science.  Seems when 71Shark and I got mine close front to back, we screwed up the top side and vice versa.
 
We finally got close but you are correct about them either being bigger or the old ones shrinking.  I now have to open each door, roll the window up all the way and then close them.  Works well except at 80mph.  Them suckers is tight now though.
