Fitting of the window rubbing strips on a 964

[Bahnstormer]

Have a 1991 Carrera 2, and have bought a couple of rubber side-window strips as mine have shrunk...but how the hell do you fit them - they look like they slide on somehow -

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Rubber side-window strips??

...where the driver and passenger side-windows meet the bodywork, there is a rubber strip to stop water getting in.

Horizontal? With a felt / fabric side?

Push pull fit. I see how they look like they slide on as the clips on the back of the strip do indeed slide. However there are specific holes in the body work that they simply clip into. You may find there is also a bit of black plyable sealler between the strip and the quarter light. Should be very quick and straight forward.

These kinds of things are in my remit, but I'm not an expert on 964s. Is there a chrome trim on the top of the door?

Most weather strips are clipped on.

Still confused - the strip has is a triangle shaped bit that slide ? into the channel , but I can't see how it goes in - do you lever it in with a screwdriver (This seems a bit too violent), or can you remove the metal trim next to it and clip it in ?

If we are talking about the same part then the strip has maybe 5 or 6 triangle shaped metal clips that slide up and down it. All the triangle clips must be slid into the channel behind the strip first. There are then holes in the door top that these triangle clips simply push into. Assuming your old strip is off it clips in in 10 seconds. The hardest bit is making sure all the clips are lined up above the holes before you push it. This is quite easy though.

The old strip is removed by gently levering it upwards. Start with the door open and then start at one of the ends.
