Question RE: Window Felts

[40]

Getting ready to put the new glass in the 37 project.......Just wondering if I can use something like 3M weatherstrip adhesive to hold the window felts to the door and garnish moulding in place of the clips/screws. Seems like with the screws and clips there would be a chance of scratching the glass especially as the felt wears. If the 3M W/S adhesive isn't strong enough......Is there something else that someone has used and would recommend......By the way......I hope everyone has a Great Easter!

I use 1/8" aluminum Pop rivets with a small head. If you are careful when installing them, you can bury them in the fuzz so they never touch the glass.

40 I was worried about the same thing and heard guys complaining about scratched glass. I used the 3m weatherstrip adhesive and has been on my 35 for 10 years without any problems at all.

As Frank suggested the 1/8" small head pop-rivets have always worked for me ... There should be an area below the "Fuzzy" part of the strip that is kind of soft ...This is the area your rivet should be in ...NOT the "fuzzy" part ...  This puts the head of the rivit below the surface of the fuzzy & will not contact the glass ... Be sure the "nail" part of the rivet is gone from  the rivit so nothing is sticking out ..  ..

  Let me know if you need photos ...I have them but cant post them ...
