weatherstrip

[DRTH VTR]

I have accidently pulled the weatherstrip above the driver door loose. How do I fix it? I have the factory manuals for my old '97, but the roof on the Z06 is different. What do I need to disassemle to fix this? Is this a job for a sort-of skilled shade tree mechanic?

When you say "pulled loose", do you mean torn loose. If it can be reattached, there is some great glue available.
I have a set of manuals if you need me to look anything up I'll be glad too.
Let mr know and good luck.

It looks like they are not glued in place, but just attached by some pressure/clamping fittings. I have the FRC and my manuals are for the Targa. Any help would be appreciated.

I have to take the car in to the body shop Wednesday for a new front bumber cover. Maybe I can get them to fix it while they have it.

There is a brief description on R&R of hard top weather striping. I can scan it and email if you like.

HI there,
You would install the outside edge first, and you can use something like a plastic scraper to install the inside edge. If the installation is deformed at all, it is not installed correctly.
NO ADHESIVE should be used.
Allthebest, c4c5

I will try what c4c5 says first, and contact you if I cannot get it. Thanks for the offer.

And thanks to c4c5 for the reply.
