[T3] Window rubber

[Keith Park]

I used the T2 rubber, I think it was the inners for the Outers on the T3
trim.  The flange isn't really deep but it was deep enough to punch holes in
and rivet them inside the sandwich between the aluminum trim and the inner
steel clamp.  The one thing I do remember is to make sure you get them down
far enough before you punch the holes, you want the lip on the scraper to go
right against the aluminum trim to kind of kick it in toward the window just
a bit.

Yikes;  sounds like it'll be easier to just use the type 1 rubber!

That's my thought too. As for the inners, I use t-2 bus seals, but I re-use 
 the t-3 wires, and cut new matching slots into the t-2 parts. This has 
worked  out just fine on both my wife's fastback (they were done back in
1990), 
and my  65 Notch (done in 2001).
