You didn't show if the trunk still closed properly and flush with the body. It's been my experience that not all weatherstripping is created equal. Some are too dense and don't compress making it very difficult to close trunks and doors.
Did you scuff paint some for adhesion? How bout cleaning the seal to remove any oils & such? I did as you did there, same glue & dang seal wont stay now after bout 4 years.
Great videos. Any extra rear window trim for a 55 belair 2 dr sedan?
Different process for weatherstrip with the little plastic (or original metal) nibs. And with that type you don't start in the middle but rather find the two holes that are closest together (the rest are more or less equidistant), on my car that is the lower driver's side right next to the bumpstop spotwelded onto the inside of the lip. Not trying to be a know-it-all, just thought I would post this to save the next guy the hours I wasted getting to that crucial bit of info. Cheers and thanks for the great vids!
Good info, thanks for sharing!
