Title: 1941 Fender Skirt weatherstrip - which way to orient when installing?
Post by: Jeff Hansen on April 21, 2024, 03:18:10 PM
Does anyone have a photo of, or can describe, how the weatherstripping attaches to a 1941 fender skirt?  Which way is the weatherstrip oriented?  Attached is a cross section of the weatherstrip borrowed from the Steele Rubber website. My 1942 uses this same 1941 skirt but I'm not sure which side of the weatherstrip goes where.

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff - I replaced mine but it's been 7 years ago. I'll try to get to my storage and take a look. On one side(the other side missing) was a retaining wire that held the weatherstrip into place. I used weather strip cement to place them - was not as easy as I thought it would be.

Jeff - I emailed you photos. This system said they were too big to attach.
