Hey guys and girls I'm assembling my car at the moment i just finished the vinyl top and putting the rear belt moldings on the ones below the 1/4 rear windows shaped like a j how are these mounted I'm stumped
The pieces that make the inner halves of the vinyl top chrome trim? Mounting holes drilled in the quarter panels.
Correct they are the ones the issue is the holes behind the screw holes are larger am i missing something
This is in it's proper position so the large round holes are behind the small counter sunk holes on the molding
your missing the special jnut clip thingies , there are four each side , or should be , mine only 3 each side , & previously had never been appart , guess the assmebly line workers were looking for any ways to cut corners & save time :P

Thank you all :2thumbs: Also while on the subject do the window sweeps go in now or after the window is fitted ?
been well over 20 years since i put mine back together & spent hours & hours aligining front & rear side glass to get it dialed in , i've posted at least in two threads how to go about it all i know other members have done a few good info posts also , just had a look but cant find anything :shruggy:
you can put the whole window regulator in then fit the glass , make sure you use the rubber bushings ie cut lengths of over flow hose as per factory ( used as bushings / spacer things) that go round the bolts that hold the glass to the regulator . you can then fit the belt moulding & catwisker rubber seals , you might need to adjust the glass stops to alow the glass to be lowered to the max , or if you have taken it all to bits leave that loose so you can lower class right the way down to allow for access to the j bolt screws,
thanks all :2thumbs:
