Morning All,
In finalizing the restoration of my beloved FJ62 for sale (many details to come), I've replaced the right rear window motor and changed the inner and outer felts. But I'm having a devil of a time re-installing the lower window channel, pictured below. The channel itself is original but the rubber inserts are new as the old ones were rigid and brittle. It seems to me to be too tight to slide the bottom edge of the window into the channel. Before I very carefully open the channel ever so slightly I wanted to check with the all-knowing Mud Mind.
Is there some trick I'm missing? Perhaps it's only possible by removing the entire door and pulling the glass out entirely? I'm hoping it's possible with the window/door still on the truck. Any advice/experience you have and can share would be appreciated.
Thank you!
