FiremarshalBill49 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm ready to install the inner and outer seals along the bottom of my 620 door windows. Any hints or helpful suggestions regarding the procedure? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Roll the window down all the way is all I can think of. They just clip in place. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Line it up before you press down and clip it in place, they're a pain in the ass to remove and clips can and will break if not careful, apply patience. 1 Quote Link to comment

FiremarshalBill49 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I purchased the Thia-made door window weather strip package (inner and outer, left and right) and was at first impressed with the price (eBay - $54 for all four strips) and delivery time (3 days). But when I went to mount them, I found the mounting clips on all 4 strips did not line up exactly with the clip holes in the door. All four strips were also 1/2" to 3/4" too long so they had to be trimmed to length with tin snips. I then pried off all 22 clips (6 on each inner strip and 5 on each outer strip) and re-positioned and clamped the clips back on the strips where they needed to be to match up with the clip holes in the doors. I then put a dab of epoxy glue on each clip to make sure they didn't move around or slip off. Also, these particular Thai-made outer rubber scraper strips seem to be about 1/16" too narrow (the edge of each mounting hole was just visible from the outside) so I ran a tiny bead of clear calk along bottom edge of these outer strips and gently tapped it into place. It helps if the window is completely down for installation. I'd recommend you mount the inner window strips first and then the outer strips. In the end, the windows don't rattle any more, they're water proof, and look pretty good. Hope this helps anyone replacing their 620 door window weather strips. 1 Quote Link to comment

2wheel-lee Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 And if they are out of Thailand, good luck.......... The Thai outers I got were ok after a little trimming, but the inners suck balls. Any suggestion of where to get decent inners? 2 Quote Link to comment
