I did a quick alignment on the front wheels today

I mounted the air dam up to the car and test fit the turn signals

I worked on the chrome trim sweeps for the door glass but I need some pictures of how they mount. Even with the rear of the door shell? Rubber trimmed inside of the chrome frame? I assume I will have to trim the rubber in place otherwise you might trim the front angle in the wrong place

I hate the modern search engine! Useless! Shows you it thinks you want instead of what you asked for...

There is a thread on the forum, not an ancient thread, that shows how to replace the window sweeps on the the chrome door trim. I was going to reread it to see how he dealt with some issues I'm having but I can't find it now :(

Can somebody help? Maybe the librarian?

May have to bring back the card catalog. I remember one too. I will check my bookmarks

Do you know about the special site: search? It limits searches to just that one site. If not, try to paste this into a google search:
chrome door trim site:classiczcars.com

You need to use the more options feature. At that point you can put in a date range. You probably also need to experiment with the search terms.

I think I found what you're looking for this time: https://www.classiczcars.com/search/?&q=%22door%20trim%22&quick=1&updated_before=1735603200&updated_after=1609459200&sortby=newest&search_and_or=and

Charles, here are some pics of the belt molding and squeegee rubber on my car. Hope this helps with your question and yes, the rubber does trim out inside the window frame.

Thanks Jim!

Thanks for the input Garrett. I was using google exactly that way and couldn't find it...

Ha! That links back to a post I did almost 7 years ago about using pop rivets to secure the sqeegee rubber to the belt molding, similar to how I did the replacment fuzzy strips to the door panel. @Patcon Charles, If you need some info I can pull off a molding and get some pics of the pop rivets.

@siteunseen Thanks Cliff. I didn't see it in those search results. Part of the problem is figuring out what the OP called that chrome squeegee strip...

On another note. I'm all legal now! :)

At the request of @Yarb here are some details on my pop rivet install of the squeegee rubber on the belt molding. Background:

When I was doing my car 14 years ago, replacement squeegee rubber was not available but Black Dragon had complete belt molding assemblies available at a great price. The molding was excellent but it was straight and not curved to fit the pinchweld on the top of the door. After several tries it was obvious the new molding would not easily curve into the required shape and I was not going to risk damage to a fresh paint job. So... I removed the squeegee strip with its thin metal backplate still stapled in place and installed it on my OE molding with 1/8" pop rivets spaced about every 4 1/2" at the staples. The backside of the pop rivets does not interfere with the fit onto the pinchweld.
