Title: Rear Door Question
Post by: KFH on February 23, 2011, 10:03:19 PM

I have just dismantled the doors in preparation for painting. Two questions. 1) On the rear door the top end of the division channel was riveted to the frame with two low profile rivets. Are these available or what is a suitable replacement?
2) The channel on the bottom of the glass on all doors has (had) a rubber section that appeared to be curved attached to them. Can these be replaced or just forget about them.

Thanks

Keith

I use a small pop rivet then punch the metal centre out and then carefully tap the rivet flat on the bottom. Looks close to original.
There's not much choice really about the rubber piece because I have never seen one that was still flexible enough to save and there is no repro

Thanks Ken. I thought that might be the go.
