weather stripping need help?
« on: March 03, 2009, 11:41:13 pm »
i just bought some window channel weather stripping for my 73 GMC 1/2 ton 2wd.   it is not working as planned.  when i get it put in there the window won't roll up or down.  I've looked for it to be binding but i dint see anything.  I also called JCWhitney where i got it and talked to them and ckecked the #'s and it is the right one.  any hints?

Adjust the lower track arm. try loosening the bolts and repositioning it. Also put some sil glide in the run channel.
