    I bought the kit almost a year ago and the door weatherstrip length was OK.

    :clap:That is an amazing diagram! Just what I've been looking for! :bouncy:
    I bought the entire weatherstrip kit from Auto Krafters, and I had been wondering where I could find diagrams. Is there a manual I can buy? Can you please tell me where you found that picture?

    If you do call them, and a woman answers, hang up. Don't allow someone to belittle you.
    I am not familure with anyone else making these products. They are new and if it doesn't fit it sounds like it doesn't take much to make it work. Order it and put it on. :2cents:

    I take it you need the rubber because yours is gone etc.
    However! If you still have the original on the car, take your time and take off all your rubber seals. Then make a mix of GOJO / or similar product. This is part water and the goop you make should be similar to slop. lol Really though make it think almost like runny mashed potatos or something. Then soak your rubber in that. Each day take time to rub and work the material around and into the rubber. Keep doing this until it becomes soft. Take it out, clean paint and other material off with whatever paint remover etc you use and the gentle edge of a razor blade. Then soak the rubber again in the same manner. Each time let it soak for long periods of time and besure to work in the goop. Seriously it really works. All the rubber on my car was original and hard, some cracked some. I did all this and was able to save it all and it looks and acts like new! Good luck.
