Jocko_51_B3B Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Looking at the sweeper clips and weatherstrip for the door windows, how should the clips and weatherstrip be installed? Q1: I see the four holes in the door for the clips, but should the jaws of the clips open upward or open downward? (I'm guessing upward.) Q2: When the weatherstrip is installed, should the cloth edge of the weatherstrip be UP and the black painted edge be DOWN or should the black painted edge be UP and the cloth edge be DOWN? In other words, which edge of the weatherstrip is right side up? (I'm guessing the cloth edge should be UP.) If I'm wrong please straighten me out. The original Dodge parts manual illustrations aren't clear and the replacement parts I bought didn't come with any install instructions.

Panhead Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 That’s a good question. I was wondering that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 using similar clips and fuzzy, I mounted mine with the cloth down and the metal bead up....works great.. Jocko_51_B3B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I think the fuzzy goes up and the clip closes around the metal bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Away from all my references while out with 48dodger. So...whatever is whatever! Dodgeb4ya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Sorry for bringing this up again. The diagram that comes with the sweeper kit from dcm, does in fact, show that the beaded end goes up. However, when I installed my new ones today I could not roll the windows up as the glass pushes up against the sweeper too tightly even after I made sure the clips were as flat as I could get them. Is there a trick to getting the glass centered in the door frame? Is there an adjustment of some sort if I open up the door panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front is adjustable front to back and allows for an angle adjustment if so needed (top screws under the wing seal, bottom are by the access panel). Also, you can adjust the regulartor as well to "level" the window in the door. Dodgeb4ya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 (edited) I'm guessing that these go at the bottom of window opening in door....do they curve up at the ends? Anyone have photos? I have no such fuzzy strip... just the fuzzy in the channels. Edited May 26 by John-T-53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 John, At about 3:10 in this video you can see these strips. The ones I got from DCM do not curve up at the ends. The clips fit right into the holes in the door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTgpLwzZ77s John-T-53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
