I could have bought a new set of window bumpers for each side, but I decided to rebuild the originals.

I needed to clean off all the old glue (electric wire wheel) and then glue to carpet onto the backing rubbers. Then glue the rubbers and the carpets to the metal backing.


All went well except that on one bumper the carpet had disintegrated. So I used a bit of automotive trunk carpeting.


Time to install the door seal on the left side. I attached the seal to the front an back with new screws.

I then stretched the seal around the bottom and made some positional marks every 10 inches or so.

Not a great shot, but the seal is in place. I removed the seal from the top rear and then started at the front and applied sealant to the seal and door in short sections. I used the markers to make sure I wasn’t stretching the seal as I didn’t want any excess at the top rear. Worked OK.

Right door regulator parts out for cleaning and re-lubrication. The window was working OK except that it was slow to go up and down. Once apart it was easy to see why. The grease inside the gearbox was almost solid.


I scraped off all the old grease and used 100 of air pressure to blast out the last of the stuff around the worm gear. I then filled the space up with new white grease.
Next: Yet more door work!
