    I have new door channel runners that fit in the top of the door and the windows snug up into them when you roll them up. They seem to fit well without sealant. However, should I use sealant? Also, do you cut them at the top rear corner or each window to make them fit or do you roll the window up and (carefully) let it tighten it up? Then I get to install the beltline strips...

    No glue needed....they will snap right in and stay.

    I miter cut the corners for a nice tight fit.

    I just bought some got two 10' rolls for 45$ w/ free shipping.

    I will be gathering parts for the doors over the next week or two... Need to get the hinges back from sandblast/powder coat to install the new pins then doors can be hung...
