Re: [AMC-list] When replacing door and trunk gaskets, ...

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

There should be a small metal triangle with a screw in it in the area 
near the door handle. If you do end up using glue (I think there was 
some glue on my 68 -- you should be able to tell if yours was glued or 
not), make sure that you only put it on the window frame. The reason for 
this is so you can remove the window frame if needed without messing up 
the weatherstrip.
