51_Meadowbrook Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I am attempting to put the stainless trim around the windshield in my ‘51 Meadowbrook and I am struggling pretty badly. The book says to use cord stuffed into the slot in the weatherstripping and gently pull it back against the stainless. That works great until I get to the upper corner. The trim has such a curve that it pulls the lip in under itself. I can’t seem to get the weatherstripping to go up enough to reach the stainless because it is pulled in so far away from the weatherstripping. Not to mention that the trim I not a perfect 90 and when you pull the side of the stainless it pulls the corner even farther from the weatherstripping. And every attempt I make releases the rubber lock on the weatherstrip so the lip will raise up but then I can’t get the rubber lock back in under the stainless.

soth122003 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Try a heat gun on low to soften up the weather stripping. Makes the rubber more pliable. Joe Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
