I have new strips from the previous owner, they look like the original latex or maybe they are neoprene. The old ones anyway look ok except for some small portions where the gloss is gone and small bits are missing. there are also the two small strips at the front of the doors which I don’t have spares for, but I managed to repair them. they had a steel band for rigidity inside but was all crumbled rust :) I cleaned the rust thoroughly and inserted an aluminum V stip, tabs, then repaired the rubber using Black Seam sealer (PU), which polished looks like rubber. It turned out well, otherwise it would cost $90+ for a pair.

[@doncostes5979]

I don't think you endorsed Napa enough when working on A-pillar lol 😆

[@bobbymitchell3754]

Thanks for the video it is helpful

Glad it helped and thanks for watching.

Hey boss. I’m about to start this project on my 92 & learning all I can beforehand. Subbed up and love the content

Thanks for Subscribing.

[@thomasjohns9649]

Can you let me know where you purchased the weatherstripping I can’t seem to find a quality place to make the purchase of the A&B pillar weatherstrip, Thank you and great informative video

[@E.T.GARAGE]

You can get it directly from CRC

[@samnardi9401]

Good Job. I just did my B pillar. Passenger side went perfect but driver side not as good. When I roll up the window, the glass does not sit in that pocket correctly. Look like its not lining up properly. Did you have that same issue?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

No I did not have any issue's like that.

[@barryjohnson1514]

When you were replacing the A pillar, how did you start it? The same as the B? Put the one side into the grove then come at it from the other side? I really didn’t get to see a good shot of you doing that. Thanks for the video it’s helped me a ton

[@E.T.GARAGE]

Your actually supposed to center it and work out to the sides, but test fit it and see what works best for you

[@barryjohnson1514]

@@E.T.GARAGE great. I have the OEM set from Davies corvette. Should work out good. So which side do you recommend putting in first for the A. As far as pushing it into the grove?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

@@barryjohnson1514 just go for it, test fit it with no glue and see what works best for you.

[@ilovec4s250]

You mentioned using glue during the install but I never saw you apply any? If so what type of glue do you recommend?

[@destruxandexploze2552]

@@E.T.GARAGE do you only apply it in the metal track where the weatherstripping clips into?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

@@destruxandexploze2552 Yes, only use a small amount.

[@destruxandexploze2552]

@@E.T.GARAGE Thank you, I’m doing this on my Vette and I didn’t really find any guides.

[@blakeeiu]

On the back pillar, you tuck the top in, but I did not see any adhesive used. Is that correct?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

I believe I used glue only on the ends, you can use glue along the whole way but just a little if you do.

[@blakeeiu]

@@E.T.GARAGE I just popped the ends off and glued just those. I think that's perfect! On the pillar A. I couldn't see too well your removal of pillar A in this video.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

Sorry I did not get a better shot@@blakeeiu

[@erhodes8745]

What chemical did you use to remove the adhesive?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

No chemicals, wire brush, mask everything off, 3m makes a adhesive remover but it doesn't work very well in my opinion and it will melt plastic trim pieces.

[@erhodes8745]

OK cool as we speak I’m removing the weatherstripping There’s like black paint kind of do I need to remove that too?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

do not remove the paint

[@ebkbk9902]

Hey mr ET garage i have a question i did my b pillar weatherstrip and now it catched on my windows i have to open the door to fully close the window?

[@E.T.GARAGE]

Can not think of what may be your problem, if you want email me some pics.

[@thomasahern9094]

I have the same issue with mine, but mine are "cut order" actual rubber weatherstrips, it does help keep water out, but until they soften up a bit, it doesn't hurt anything.

[@thomasahern9094]

mine were "cut 2 order" i meant. they just need to soften up a bit, the rear glass is still sealed but really hard to close.

[@UN4SS1GN3D]

You probably need to adjust your window by taking off the door panel.

[@ebkbk9902]

@@UN4SS1GN3D I had found out the company i purchased my weatherstrip from had inaccurate measurements compared to the oem rubber. I bought a new one from amazon from a different seller and with some tilt adjustments it rolls up and down nice now! I also do use silicone grease to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
