All apertures on the car have received new gaskets and seals, windows, doors, trunk, etc.
I’m not sure if you can see in the photos, but the doors are now nearly air tight. Driving through a deluge results in not a single drop anywhere in the car, and the road noise is substantially less due to both the better seals and the renewed insulating material in the doors.
Windscreen and rear window fitted, as well as most of the door glass, along with chrome trim surrounds.
While the doors were apart to install the glass, we went ahead and removed the old (and pretty far gone) insulation and installed new rubberized asphalt sound/vibration insulation. The old stuff had crumbled to a point beyond recognition, which has it’s advantages, as it’s hydrophilic and a common cause of serious rust in these cars. Due to the way the insulation is mounted, the doors or body could rust through from the inside without any warning to the owner until it’s too late!
The rubberized mats are completely waterproof and offer much better sound deadening properties than the original insulation used.
