Re: [VAC] Window molding



It worked great on the '65 Caravel.  I thought the windows were the same
from '59/'60 on - although I may be wrong.  

Hehr said I would have to modify it, but all I did was place it in hot
water, run a bead of  black window mastic in the window channel, and
then stretching the molding slightly while pressing it into the channel,
and it locked right in. 

The back leg goes into the channel and drops into a groove running the
perimeter of the frame, the outboard lip catches under the outside
window frame, and the inboard lip seals against the glass.  I trimmed it
to length at the corners & sealed the corners with a little RTV.

If anyone wants to see a close-up, we'll be getting the trailer from the
storage yard this weekend to work on it, and can take a picture & post it.
