>>i am refitting my 63 square and have taken the popouts and replaced the rubbers but am now having trouble putting them back in, do you know of any little hints or trick to help but them in.<< If you've already got the new seals into the popout frames the hardest part is done. Getting the complete popouts back onto the car with new seals is a little tricky because the lip of the seal gets in the way. What I did is use some 2 in. wide masking tape to tape the leading edge lip of the seal back to the window so it would be out of the way. Then you need to angle the popout hinges into the slots and carefully but firmly push forward and in at the same time (that is, push toward the front of the car while at the same time "closing" the popout). Careful, it's easy to slip and scratch your paint. When the window is seated hold it firmly closed while you have someone get inside the car and install the latch. The masking tape holding the seal back can then be removed and you're done. Scott 62 343, 65 361 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
