'90 XJS waist molding question

[VLStu]

Hi there!
Ive been working on a '90 XJS for the last year, and am getting ready to take the plunge on a paint job. One item I have to replace prior to the new paint is the weather seal molding that attaches to the top of the doors, and wipes the window as it goes up/down.

Has anyone had experience with this, that can give me an idea if it is a "do it yourself" type job?

Thanks!

Sometimes that rubber will slide out if it has not been glued, then you can drill out the rivets after you remove the glass.

Thanks!
I'll check it out tomorrow. If it is this simple, it will be a first for this car!

Thanks again - that seems to have been the trick. IT just crumbled on the way out, but it helps to know how to install the new material.
