How to Replace the Weatherstripping in the Vent Glass on a 1957 Chevy

Weatherstripping in your 1957 Chevy protects the interior of the car by keeping out wind, rain and snow with a tight seal between windows and doors. Weatherstripping in vent glass can wear out and lose its ability to seal. Chevy owners who want to save money can do the job of replacing the weatherstripping with simple tools and supplies purchased from an auto parts store.

Instructions

1

Roll down and examine all windows to determine whether the weatherstripping is cracked or brittle. If so, the weatherstripping will have to be replaced.

2

Use needle-nose pliers and a razor blade knife to remove the cracked, brittle weatherstripping. Cut underneath it with the razor blade and pull the weatherstripping out with the needle-nose pliers.

3

Scrape off any old glue stuck to the door frame with the razor blade knife.

4

Spread a thin layer of glue from the weatherstripping kit onto both the door frame and the weatherstripping. Allow the glue to dry to tacky. Slide the weatherstripping into the door frame with the pliers and press the surfaces together. Repeat the process for the other side.

5

Repeat Steps 2-4 at any other windows for which weatherstripping needs to be replaced.

6

Allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes, then carefully roll up the windows. Allow the windows to remain undisturbed for at least a day before rolling down the windows.
