    hello :)
    I need help on a couple of things..
    Its a 1970 ford maverick with 351 W :)
    first of all, I just mounted the window in the front door, when i turn it up i goes up but also forward.. I have to drag it back on the way up for it to go the all way up.
    I also just bought a new roof interior, how to I make it fit in front and rear? do I press it inn the front and back window seal, do I glue it?? I really dont know.. need heeelp ;)
    I'm also missing the door windows seals, the seal inside an outside where the window goes up and down, dont know the name of it, yes I'm from norway so my english is not so good. but its the seal whit the clips. I guess it helps the window to be more steady... hope you understand me. any links on where to buy them, or if there are any other car seals that fit?
    Does anyone have any pictures on seats in the maverick, I would love to try and make a 3series bmw backseat fit but I havent gotten to that yet, also I've heard many people use BMW seats in Amcars because of the comfort and good support. would I be able to fit such seats in my car?

    I have tried to search the forum but didnt find any good tips on these questions.

    I can help on a few things:

    The headliner is supposed to be installed with the windshield and rear glass removed. Some people have had luck installing it without removing the glass though.

    I'm assuming your car is a 2-door? If I understand correctly, those are called the window belt line weatherstrip. They can be bought from Autokrafters:http://www.autokrafters.com/v4/go.g...products&show_product_id=563361&product=31731

    When I re-installed the door glass in my '72 2-door Maverick, it also moved forward when rolled up to the top leaving a gap at the top rear of the glass.

    I learned there is a slot for the front bolt where the window frame mounts to the regulator. With the window part way down, loosen the front mounting bolt, hold the glass up, and tighten the bolt. That solved the problem for me.

    With the window I normally raise it all the way and then adjust it so I know it's right lol

    Check autokrafters for the door seals, ebay too....i saw a set on there very recently. i believe that is the beltline strip

    oh, autokrafters website isnt the greatest either but they do have alot of stuff we need!
