How to fit front door whistle strips????
Posted: 21 Mar 2012, 11:33
The other day I put a replacement passenger cab door on and I tried to fit some whistle strips
to my early van
I drilled off and fitted them but when I came to refit the door there was no way I could fit it without the door pinching the strip at the bottom and pushing it back inside the gap.
The offending area was where the small swage line runs along the door at the bottom (red arrow in picture). The gap between the door and the a pillar is smaller at this point no matter how I adjust the hinges.
I take it they screw to the place where I have marked a green arrow?
Is my early van missing something? Like extra raised pressings or packers?
