Whitaker717 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Just a quick question guys. I am replacing the trim around the window and I am not sure if the trim slides over the thin metal along the window or it just sits in the clips. Hope that makes sense.

jpnjake Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 that helped me take my trim off when I polished one side of my trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 It slides over. I used the rubber coated handle of a pair of pliers I owned to protect the top edge of it then a small hammer to knock it in place. They should be a tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say slides over you mean the sheet metal slides up in the trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitaker717 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Just now, AZJeff said: YES, that is correct. Thanks. You don’t happen to have pictures do you. I think my trim is just sitting in the clips on the bottom where the felt is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzaman09 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It seats such that it covers all the sheet metal down to the bend. Picture shows proper placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnjake Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Here’s some pictures it’s slightly different on the 97-01 as pictured but the same basic design except the bottom peice on the old style is held on with metal clips and is 2 peice where the new is just one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyweb3 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I just received and installed a new set of window felt beltline weatherstrips from Steele Rubber Products on my 87 Comanche. 4pcs inside and out. Looks and fits like OEM in case anybody is looking to replace theirs. About $100 w/tax and shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitaker717 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thanks guys, my sheet metal is a bit bent up and I can’t seem to get the trim to go over the sheet metal and 3 clips attached to window felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
