should have asked this a few weeks ago..

picked up a factry GM outer window sweep.(from GM $48) my sweep has a small nick in it..(it's a car show thing) you can see it ..but i know it's there..

any way, do you have to remove the glass to install it..
(yes door panle, and every thing is off) would have to go out in the shop to take a look. but will just ask the guys who have done them ON THIS SITE, (forgive the 8 years of dust from sitting in a box)


what im thinking whan i waould go to car shows

 

I did it. The mirror is in the way IIRC but having the top door panel piece out of the way helps too.

 

you did it? with glass in or out?

as you can see i have the door Panle off (to press flat) it had a small winkle.. looks like ne now.

and i left it off so i could install the new window sweep..

so what did you do? was it a PAIN! or what.. every thing go in and out like it should?

thank you for the link... have been wanting to get the door put back together with the new window sweep. the nick on mine has been that way for 16+ years. the sweeps are still like new.(car has always) been locked up out of the Sun. and taken care of.. it's just the last 8 years sitting getting Dusty..in my shop. and the door panle got a winkel from getting wet i gess.. so taking the time to fix all of the things wrong with the Door..and that was the one thing i wanted to do. from Day 1. (93)

any way thanks ill give it a shot.

 

Since you're in the door anyway, you might consider some of the ideas/suggestions in the following link:

will get the spray..wana keep every thing soft...
car has all the parts on it.. i picked it up new back in 92 (92 Z28)
im the first one to take all the plastic off the seats.

i for the life of me cant fig why i just left the car sit for the last 8 years.
just got bored with it. i think.. now looking at it. im glad i hung onto it like i did..could never get another one like Her...

 

The link pretty much say's it all.

 

i did it , just take it slow and easy . i used silicone spray to help slip into the tight places . IT CAN BE DONE . good luck .
