    Does any one have a diagram or can tell me how to install the window felts in my 1970 maverick? I took them out 10 years ago & don't remember how to put them back in.

    Glass has been out. Just been painted. How do the felts go in? rounded one inside or outside? flat one inside or outside?

    The larger rubber one goes on the outside and the smaller felt one goes to the inside

    I still don't understand. Would you happen to have a picture? These are after market felts. The rubber sticks out too much on the rounded one, do I have to trim it?

    I didn't have to trim mine. All my pics don't show any detail on which one goes where. Can you post a pic of the ends of your beltline weatherstripping and then I could tell you what goes where

    Are you talking about the Door Glass Run the goes around the door glass frame or talking about the Beltline Weatherstrip that you lay your arm with the window is rolled down?

    Beltline Weatherstrip that you lay your arm with the window is rolled down.

    on the first pic, does the rounded part go on the top or the bottom of the window? 0705151303.jpg 0705151305.jpg

    The rubber part is at the top outside piece. It wipes the water/fog off the glass when you roll the widow up and down. The inner felt, when mounted, will be below the glass opening.
