Winter is Here… What Do YOU Want to Accomplish On Your Vintage Chrysler, Plymouth Dodge or DeSoto before Spring?
Of course, for all you lucky folks in the sun belt, or who have toasty heated workshop/garages you can disregard this concept. But for the rest of us, it’s time, go start whittling away at that “to do list” if we want to get it done this year for Spring driving.

Need to check the master cylinder, stop light switch, wheel cylinders and brake hoses.

Window Glass Removal
First, remove the locking strip or unlock the fixed “self -sealing” tab (if there is one.) Slide a flat knife or putty scraper between the gasket and the glass to “unstick” the rubber from the window. Carefully push the glass towards the locking strip side from the upper corners and center, applying careful even pressure. DON’T push too hard! If the rubber doesn’t begin to give way, go back to step one and use your knife to insure that the rubber is unlocked from the glass IF the rubber is unlocked from the glass it should come out fairly easily. Once you get the glass out pull the old rubber off the pinchweld. DON’T throw it away, especially if your car is a 1953-1954 Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or DeSoto…samples may be needed for us to identify the correct replacement!Read More
