Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I've been making some progress lately. Both doors are mounted, with latches, gaskets and looms. (Special thanks to Ogre for the loom design.) Right now the gaskets don't seal at the leading edge of the door. Can't think of much I can do about it. I still need to put a dab of weatherstrip here and there. (How do you guys/gals like my homemade door installer fixture on my floor jack?)

I tried to put the windshield in last week, first with a friend of mine, then with a pro. Both attempts failed, and the pro thinks the gasket is too hard. To check the fit, we then put the glass in place without the gasket. The fit wasn't great, but the pro thinks he can get it in with a softer gasket. He now has a Precision brand gasket and he just needs to get back over here. We'll see how it goes.
