Frodge Fri Jul 04, 2008 8:35 am

I want to order all the parts from WW but want to know exactly what I need, and what I should have on hand (ie like thinks that will break and need to be replaced in the process) I have read through several threads and am under the impression that this job is very difficult. Is there a kit where you can buy the whole chrome piece with the rubber installed that you can just pop into place? I have read several procedures but would like any info on the correct way to do this without buggering things up. I live in NY (staten island) anyone know of a place that can do this correctly if it is too much for someone that has never done it before?

EVERYTHING you could possibly need.

The procedure isn't that hard, but it is time consuming. I used a thread on here as a guide along with every manual I could consult.

**edit. You might want to get a few of these, they aren't always reusable.

What are the pitfalls I need to watch out for? :?:

Couple of questions.
What special tools do I need for this job?
What is the order of removal and re-install?
Should I order the new chrome one piece for the outer scraper or just the rubber?
What is expected to go wrong?
A lot of this rubber is expensive so I want to do it right the first time. Thanks.

Its been a while since I did it, but basic tools are all I remember using. 10mm, phillips, and a flat head or two.

EVERYTHING in the door needs to come out. This thread covers the how-to removal of the rubber.

The 'chrome' comes on the rubber.

Nothing should go wrong if you buy quality parts and take your time.
