fitting window scrapers

Post by scottbott »

I have just picked up a set of window scrapers and door seals and window runner felt strips,I have looked through wiki and there is not much detail to fitting them,is there any difficulties to fitting them or anything to watch out for?,they are expensive and do not want to damage one by being too heavy handed with them,have looked online and cannot find much information that is of use

Did mine, took 10 mins. Pull old ones off and clip new ones on. Just make sure the retaining clips that hook over the door metal work are present or you have nothing to secure them. I started from the end away from the corners too, so as not to tighten the radius of the corner accidently.

You do need to be careful that the retaining clips don't drop off inside the door.
