      Weatherstrip Sealing

      One thing that is eluding me on my car is getting proper sealing of the windows and doors.

      I've put on reproduction weatherstripping but no matter what I do, the windows never properly seal. There's always gaps, or in the case of my driver's window, in order to get a seal I have to have the window at an angle where I have to push it out with my fingers while rolling it up.

      Is there some secret to this that I'm missing?

      I guess no one has to deal with this problem!

      Not sure if your car has adjustments in the window tracks like my 70 camaro(no window frames), but you can tilt the top of the windows in, adjust the windows tilt fore/aft, adjust the up/down stops and stuff like that to seal it up.

      1970 RS/SS350 139K on the clock:
      89 TPI motor w/ 1pc rear seal coupled to a Viper T56 via Mcleod's modular bellhousing w/ hydraulic T/O bearing from the Viper, 12 bolt rear w/ 3.73 gearing, SC&C upper control arms, factory lowers with Delalums, C5 brakes at all four corners, Front Wheels 17x8's with Sumi 255/40/17 and Rear Wheels 17x9's with Sumi 275/40/17.
