How to re attack quarter window moulding?
 

How to re-attach quarter window moulding (old 911)? Tap it on to reciever groove in rubber window surround with soft mallet? Not sure how to do it. Doesn't seem to like mallet method. Bigger mallet?
Thanks

It has to go in before the window is put in.

It is a 79 so the rubber goes in first.

Both the groove and rubber need to be s-l-i-c-k...

Use dish soap. Stay close to the ground (softer floor - the better) in case the window slips out.

Spray soap on and keep it wet as you work the rubber into the groove.

I have a '79 and it is next to impossible to install the the metal trim into the rubber while the assembly is in the car. I did all mine when I did a headliner install.

Procedure: On a workbench, install glass into seal. Lube trim groove in rubber seal and work metal trim into groove (not always easy even when on workbench). Lube channel of rubber seal that engages body, install a string or wire (I use a scrap of 14 gauge plastic sheathed electric wire) into channel. Place assembly up into window opening and pull the string from the inside while a helper pushes on the outside and "rope" the assembly into car.

Nope. Impossible that way.

Do as Tim says.

Here is my procedure with some picts...
