hood weather stripping

Post by bill hauck »

anyone have an "easy" way to get the little plugs at the corners into the holes? can't seem to get my hands in to pull them through the holes.

I applied some soap to make them slip in easier then I used a small dull metal rod to push them into place. Others might have a better way.....

easy
spray everything down with silicone
poke the nipple thru the hole
then take a 90 degree needle nose plier and pivot the nipple downward...
cheers
