Phase 3 installation windshield weather strip

Ok now for the Weather strip above the windshield. I used liberal amounts of Armourall on the bottom of the strip where it feeds into the track and this helped. Note that the side of the weather strip with the bead goes against the roof, and the smaller side with the flap will go against the top of the windshield. I was able to feed a fair amount of the strip into the track from one side, but after the half way mark it became a push pull affair, so patience is required.

At the end I was going from one side of the car to the other alternately pushing and pulling about a 1/4 inch at a time.

In the end you can tell when your done, by the fact that the flap with the T-bolt hole lines up with the bolt hole on the front bow.( Hope this is clear)
