Ok, from looking through the archives and staring at my car I now understand I need to disassemble the door to properly install my new vent window trim (sigh). However, someone (Phil S on a long ago post)did mention the possibility of cutting through the new rubber to position the hinge pin into the center of the seal. Fom the outset, this doesn't seem like the best option, as ideally you want to keep the thing intact, but has anyone ever done this and had it work for the long term, or did it start to peel up over time?
Also, it appears that I'l need to glue the one vertical, outward, flat side of the seal to the casing interior, is this correct? I'm assuming the same bright yellow, 3M sealant that I'm using for my trunk rubber will do the job (I forget the name of it)?
And if I'm doing all this work I feel like I should probably go ahead and put in new window fuzzies (are WINDOW FUZZIES the correct name anyway?!?), since those black fuzzy things that the window slides through seem almost flat from wear, and have probably never been replaced since the car was born. I only vaguely remember seeing something called "window fuzzies" for sale on ebay, AND, if I did this, is there any trick to THEIR installation?
Opening up these doors seems to be opening up a whole new Pandora's box, but I always feel it's better to do the job "right" if I do it at all...
Thanks, hfav
