Is the quarter glass supposed to sit in the roof rail weather strip groove or on top of it? It seems the door glass sits on top of it.

I'm a little stuck (again) on how to install the upper side trim (the painted piece that clips on along the sides of the headliner). It looks like it tucks under the roof rail stainless trim. I can install it without the clips tucking it under the roof rail trim (barely) but it doesn't look...

I like the Tuff steering wheel so I spent a bundle on a Tuff adapter and the Grant #846 wheel but didn't like that it was hard plastic. After unsuccessfully trying an Amazon cover (which I found was not made for thinner steering wheels) I bought the Wheelskins 15 x 3 1/4 cover. Its not a...

The car is assembled and I've got these leftover. They are 5/16" bolts with points (not a regular body bolt) and 1 1/2" washers. Where were they supposed to go?

Anybody got any tips? I've watched a few videos, etc. I installed one side and got a lot of water bubbles. Yes you can pin prick them but it leaves a mark. The issue I have is that you cannot see how well you have squeeged as the protective cover hides everything. Maybe I need to pull it...

This may be a stupid question but I haven't got into it yet to figure it out...I'm just finishing off my '70 Dart and I need to install the new hood pins. I can't reach the backside to get to the nut on the bottom without removing some parts. I was wondering if anybody knows what has to come...

I just mounted the mirror and noticed that the glass is extremely loose. Unfortunately I bought it 2 years ago. Anybody fix this issue?

Ok new day and new problem. My door lock cylinders don't want to go in the holes. Perhaps I just need to sand the paint and primer or is there a 'trick'? ps had to remove the rear vertical track for the second time so I could hook up the linkage.

I've got the door weather stripping installed on my '70 Dart (wraps around door from front to back). How does it fit the rubber end seal on the back end of the door glass? Is it supposed to be tucked underneath or butted up to it?

Ok I had to use a rubber mallet to run the glass up the channel in the vent frame. I just silicone grease and spray. The new sliders seem about the same as the originals so it must be thicker seals. I don't know if the glass will ever roll up and down with the crank or whether I will destroy...

I had a little fight with the car trying to install the passenger side quarter glass. I can get the front bolt installed but the back one is problematic. There could be other issues as I have had all the guts out and bought used glass (again I assumed the quarter windows are all...

Silly question and not my biggest problem these days but I just got my gas cap is not orientated correctly. I just screwed the filler neck screwed to the body and put the filler cap on (original). The handle is pointing at 1 o'clock instead of horizontal and the cap is sitting below the...

Just wondering if anyone had this issue. I bought some new bushings from National Moparts which I believe are DMT supplied since they carry their stuff. The wiper linkage arm will not stay in place and it does not grab the pin. James at DMT was unaware of any issues. I still have an old...

For our 36th wedding anniversary I let my wife help me put in a new AMD rear window. It didn't take long. I was surprised at how loose the glass is in the gasket and frame. The gasket is very pliable (Metro?). Its still a little wet and I haven't applied any butyl sealant or urethane yet...

I'm getting ready to do this tomorrow on my '70 Dart. I've read some threads and watched a bunch of videos but still am fuzzy on the final plan. The top is pretty straightforward...mark centerlines and glue the center 4" in position, do one side to the seam, then do the rear of the C pillar...

I don't think these belong to my '70 Dart. Is it for 73 up Dart where the vinyl extends down the a pillar?

I'm getting ready to do the install and noticed that the vinyl tops are available with a 38 and 43 inch width on the seams. I have the Legendary 43 inch top which I bought new/used a couple of years ago not even knowing there were options. Does anybody know what is correct or if this...

I hung my headliner and it looks like the front bow is too long. I'm guessing I mixed them up when I removed them 3 years ago. If there were color codes they are long gone. I read that the longest goes to the back. Is this true and are they all different lengths, curvature? I'll have to pull...

Apparently you cannot buy the Dap Weldwood Contact Adhesive - Landau Top and Trim HHR in Canada although I do see it on Amazon for $160! Anybody else got a recommendation on another product? I see 3M has the Super Trim Adhesive, 08090 for high temp applications.

I installed an AMD bumper and find that one side is about 3/16" low and there is little to no up and down adjustment. I had a hard time getting all the bolts in to begin with. I think my only choice is to open up the trunk holes for the bumper bracket bolts or possibly open up the bumper...

Has anybody found assembly line videos from the early '70s? I'm looking for a video of the painting of the shell.

I was the painters helper. I was very nervous as I did all the metal and body work. It took 8 hours to mask and spray it. The car looks good. I’m going to reassemble then we are going to fix a few things I missed and reclear the roof and hood and then cut and polish.

I removed the vertical trim pieces and now need to reinstall. Can you do this using the old seal strips or are new ones usually required? When installing new do you push it into the trim and then push the trim onto the glass or visa versa? I hear soapy water helps. Thanks

Does anybody know if the top pieces for a Demon fit a ‘70 Dart?

I'm getting close to reassembling my project and was thinking about tinting the glass 75% before I install it. Its new clear AMD glass (don't like the green stuff). I was thinking I could do this myself with the glass out. Anybody done this? Good or bad idea? Thanks.

One of the last projects before I reassemble my '70 Swinger is to fix and polish the trim. I'm always impressed with people who have good metal working skills like this guy in the Hot Rod Magazine article https://www.hotrod.com/how-to/straightening-stainless-steel-trim/ Anybody get into this...

I'm doing the final adjustment of my doors before paint and noticed that I wasn't getting a consistent closing position....sometimes the door is in too far and sometimes out too far. Looking at the striker I noticed the finger inside the latch does move a bit in when in the closed position. It...

Anybody got a sketch or pic of where the studs for the rear vinyl trim clips mount? The car did not come with a vinyl roof originally. I bought a clip kit which requires the holes to be laid out and drilled. Its got 16 clips which seems like a lot.

I'm fitting my door and fender and find that the fender has to be pushed in all the way and the door pulled out to get them fitting correctly. The back and bottom of the door looks good. As you can see there is a big difference in gaps at the top. The fender has about 0.1" gap for reference...

There is a ton of slop in my hood hinges so I'm going to take a shot at fixing/modifying the pivot pin. The plan is to use a door hinge pin in the small hole and to drill out the big end of the rivet to accept it then weld it up (I'm hoping it it weldable). What I am wondering is how tight to...
