Okay, I've got a complete set of replacement door weather stripping for my 77. What exactly do I need to do when replacing? (What steps, sealant, etc.)

Thanks,

Which weatherstripping are you replacing ? If it's all of them , then removing a few bolts on the doors and CLEAN THE SURFACE , alittle bit of 3M weatherstripping adhesive on the area in question (or push in the clips) hold a bit and put the bolts in as you go along . Now if it's window felts be prepared to get alittle frustrated( working in a little cramped area in the window channel) a few screws and maybe removing the inner door panel and your done .As you can see mine was pretty simple GOOD LUCK. The reason why I asked which weatherstripping because mine came "complete" but not the window felts.

It's the weatherstripping, not the felts, thanks. I just wanted to make sure it was a straight forward job, and not be surprised by anything.

Thanks,
