I just got dont repainting my cab and shell to match the rest of truck, was white, wanted it to look better when i was topless too. But now i have no old indicator marks where the seal was. I have posted two different ways it may or may not go. I've seen a few different ways but don't know if there correct or using different seals or what not. Using LMC seals, think there in good shape, but well see after i get some feedback on my dilema I also need to know which way its glued. To the face of the drip rail, in the drip rail or some other way. Thanks for Your help. Making a full how to seal thread after i'm done will be a full member by than:D
Using M3 super weatherstrip adhesive 8008

Oh PS some pics would be super awsome, some i can see, not a full member and don't have extra cash right now. Thanks;)

First way you can clearly see the seal lip is overlapping the headliner support. Looks clean.

This way leaves a gap down the drip rail but no biggie.

Another pic but see the wrinkles, will have to stretch a little and glue to get those to lay down.

Way #2

See it doesn't overlap the headliner support.

There is no gap down the drip rail this way.

That seal goes under the headliner plastic trim pieces. I have my Blazer outside and ran out to take a look just to be sure. It doesn't overlap those plastic pieces.

Thanks for the help, but still need to know how to glue them, just going to stop being a perfectionist and going to get it done already. and thanks norcal for posting the pics had a hell of a time trying to get those up, comes with being a newbie i guess.
