[@illegalregal9577]

You're my hero! I didn't even know it was called a window sweep. Bought an 85 Regal a few months back and my driver side window sweep got so bad it just fell inside the door so I think it's about time to replace em lol. Thanks for the video!

@Classic Gbody Garage In another year or two, I'll be headed south to find a couple complete Monte's, up here in Michigan they are very expensive and/or rusted badly, I'd love to take a tour! I'll be uploading some videos this summer of my 93 s10 for the first time, hope you get to check it out

Just did this for my 81 cutlass and it fixed all my problems. Rattling is gone and now shuts solid. Thanks again Brian. Keep them videos coming. Regards from your mate in Australia

[@88classic]

Some replacement sweeps came with staples. is it a certain tool to replace the staples? And not use Screws?

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

You would have to use an industrial stapler or you can use flush rivets.

[@6thGearGarage]

Great job with the B-roll 👍

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

Thanks man! Takes time!

[@srercrcr]

The sweeps aren't designed to keep the glass stable. There a couple of adjustable rubs there. You put em right where you want them. I believe I even put a piece of carpet in there too....no scraping. Enjoy your channel. (78 Grand Prix)

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

The window guides is what you are referring to, so the guides and inner and outer sweeps all work together to keep the glass stable. You can't rely on just one or the other. The guides need to push against something and that is the out sweep. The inner helps keep things tight. Keep your guides as is and remove the sweeps on your 78 GP and tell me if the glass becomes loose...I am certain it will be. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

I have an 85 El Camino with a custom pearl white paint, a fuel injected LT-1 from a Corvette with 4 speed auto overdrive and a Buick Grand National rear diff. That's my little hot rod. I want to replace the chrome trim that runs over the door. I see they are available but are they difficult to install and remove the old ones without scratching the paint? I also want to replace the electric window motors as they run slow so when I do that i might as well replace the sweeps while I'm at it. Thanks for the great tips.

Sounds sweet! You can remove the trim with a plastic trim remover tool and also the trim screws to the door on either end so make sure you remove those first.
