Inner Belt weatherstipping issues.
« on: November 24, 2010, 09:16:08 am »
I just installed new window channels and belts seals on mine and everything went up and down quickly like it should until I installed the inner belt and put the door panel on.  I still haven't torn back into it to figure out what to do.  I also had to pull the rear track away from the window a little.  If there are any other tricks I'd be interested to see them.  When my window rolls down it is pinched so tightly between the inner and outer belts it almost pulls them down into the door, and probably will at some point.  I bought Precision stuff thinking it would be a good fit but the inner belt doesn't match the contour of the door panel very well.  With the door panel off everything is quick and smooth.

jaredts, take a pic, were the beltline scrapers bent?  Are they seated properly?

Sorry to have butted into the thread, but I'll try and get some pics tonight.  They weren't bent and fit fine except where the door panel curves up near the door lock.  That curve is a poor fit.  They seem to be seated properly--I'm not sure how it could be screwed up since the clips pretty much lock them in place on inners and outers.  The fit at the curve and the tightness of the beltlines is the same on both doors.

Hey, thanks for splitting this for me.  I will get pics, but with the holidays and snow here, I haven't been able to yet.
