Re: Door Weatherstripping

Hey there, I just installed the Fairchild brand on the driver door of a 1992 Firebird. Install was great for the sweeps and the door rubber. Now it did does require a swift slam to close. I am hoping they squeeze in overnight. I rebuilt the hinges and R&R the power window motor at this time.
