It's time to attach the window weatherseals (Moss 282-380 and 282-390) and brushes (Moss 682-030) to my BJ8. Neither of these items were present when I acquired the car, so I have no disassembly pictures. The brush appears to attach with clips (Moss 803-410). But the rubber and metal outer seal has holes which seem to want to have rivets for attachment, but that method would interfere with the adjacent outer chrome trim. Moss and the Service Parts List list another clip (Moss 326-175), described as attaching both the trim and the weatherstrip. So how do these parts attach? Just with the clips, or are rivets required? Any pix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure about the brushes, but the rubber attaches with clips that also accommodate the chrome trim.

The rubber strip has about 6, or 7, places along the bottom edge that will go into the clips. I'm not near my car and won't be able to take a pic for a day, or two, perhaps someone else will be able to provide one.

Thanks, Dave. I checked with some quite knowledgeable folks today at Neil's Restorations, and found that the clips attach the weatherstrip directly to the chrome strip. The outer edge of the rubber overlaps the chrome strip. Apparently then the thus assembled parts, using the same double clip, snap on to the door. Does that sound right? What threw me was the 1/8 inch holes on the weatherstip. I think this must be for another application, such as an MGB. Anyway, thanks. Jim

That is correct!
