Door welt

[vercingetorix]

I just purchased door welt from MSA as my car has never had any since Ive owned it. I got the kits and there is not enough to do the entire door opening, about 18 to 20 inches short. The kit came in two pieces one long one short. I called MSA and was told that there is no welt on the bottom of the door and that the door sill plate is supposed to anchor it across the bottom. I can see no possible way for that to work!! The sill plate would have to cover the seal from the outside with metal. Im lost here. Having never seen an original install I am w/o a clue. I think the newer seals with the built in welt go all the way around the door.

Any help appreciated.

Best,

The door threshold has a silver aluminum sill plate that sits outside of the welting. There is, also, a black vinyl covered scuff plate that fastens to the inside rocker area and has a tunnel shaped outside edge that covers the door welting. hope this helps. These scuff plates are sold quite often on ebay.

I spoke to Sal at MSA right after I posted this and he 'Splained it to me. This piece has not been on my car since I've owned it, now to purchase a couple..
