Thanks 65dartcharger! Was your steering column grounded?
I'm having a hell of a time closing the doors with the windlace in place. Specifically the top 4 or 5 inches on the B pillar. Any one else have this problem? When I peel it back a bit, the door closes fine. The end is open to let air escape. Has any one had this problem? Please help if you have.
Thanks.

Nice vacation. I've been to England(saw family for a week and was ready to go home,they think I'm weird and are probably right.) and Paris for a day so I didn't get to see much there(paris). England Ale was AWESOME. but their coffee sucked. Tea is an afternoon or night thing for me NOT breakfast. but I had fun. Prague sounded nice but the time and money didn't work out for me maybe one day.Thanks guys. Was taking a break Kurt. I went to berlin, Prague and Paris on vacation. It was nice except for Paris, that was a dump. That's the exact problem, when I adjust the latches the bottom if the door sticks out. Wonder if..... I glued the top 5 or 6 inches flat and drilled some small (1/8") holes in the bottom of the wind lace for air to escape?? Other than that. Getting closer. Best way to adjust the windows? I'm guessing wing window, door glass then quarter glass??? That's giving me fits too! Next time, it'll be a hardtop!! Don't forget to swing by if you have time. After all this time in Michigan I'm sure you're ready to get home!! Jim

So I stopped hemmin and hawin and came up with this for the rear speakers.
A look from the inside.
Those look Good! I had to adjust mine since I went with the 97 sebring rear seat also. I'm still tweaking my rear seat mounting in order to get some bigger speakers in there. You do know that the front kickpanel speakers are slim line ones about 1.9 or so deep? Most department store speakers will fit(boss, alpine and pioneer 4 inch'rs from target, walmart and sears work). 2" from the mounting base to the bottom of the magnet just clears the inner metal wall. I'm making a mold,(if I can ever get home) that is a bit deeper for 2.5 to 2.9 deep 4 inch speakers. these deep ones look a bit different and a 4x6 speaker (again slimline only for right now). let me know if you need either one of those kick panels in place of the slimline 4" rounds. it might take a bit but they will be done. Car looks GREAT! I wish mine comes out close to as nice as yours is.
How was the fit to the door jamb? did they line up right for you? send PIC"S PLEASE yours was the first set out and I'd like to see em. Can you give me a measurement from the bottom mounting face to the magnet and when I get home I'll setup the molds and see what happens. View attachment !!!mounting location depth for speakers.jpg .. . if they are more than 3.5 deep they'll look funny since the angle of the cone mounting pod will be way too steep.(been thinking about a fix for that problem too!) since our kick panels are smaller than the later model cars. I'm already working on a 3 incher so that might be what you need. . as you can sortof see the base for this will be 3.something or other add 1/8 for the abs and it's over 3 inches in depth. View attachment DSCF4542.jpg . the cone shape goes all the way from fromt to back using this angle. I tried steeper ones and they looked "wrong" .View attachment DSCF4538.jpg.. . I did realise that you could put in those small remote speakers that come with some setups in the cone section since now at 3 inches tall, they would fit and not hit the main speaker. View attachment DSCF4543.jpg. this might be the setup I end up going with since I already have one mold almost done.LOL. I do, I do. I gad a set of polk audio I wanted to use, cut a spacer because the magnet was too deep! But, If you get around to it, I would be in for a set!!
Any idea where this little fella goes? I thought the trans linkage but it's not shown in the book??Thanks
I was thinking that this goes over a ear on the transmission, drivers side. Something to do with one of the linkages. Is your car a floor shift? I was thinking it was to keep the linkage from moving around and rubbing on the aluminum housing.
