Removing Weatherstrip

[tuke]

I'm getting a lot of wind noise through the weatherstrip that goes around the door opening. I've read about slideing in vinal tube or dual rod backer rod in to fill the gap. How does the weatherstrip come off? Haven't really had a chance to check it out. Thanks Ed

I thought it may be the door out of adjustment to. Tweaked it a little fits better but still has a small gap. I was going to run some tubing through the weatherstrip around the door opening seeing how its still in decent shape, just kinda sqaushed over time. I was just wondering how it comes off? Figure it'll be easier to slide the tubing through. Thanks for the numbers as I'll probably get that anti-rattle kit. Ed

Ed,
To take the weather stripping off, ya need to remove the interior trim pieces around the door openings.
Once done, you will see where the strip is smet together at the ends( will be at the bottom under the rocker panel scuff plate).
Just get ahold of it and gently pull it up and it will come off. If the rockers are rusty, the stripping will be a bit difficult to remove but will come up.

Good luck.
