86 Series 3 window exterior belt molding removal

If the rubber stock is in very good condition, can re-use.........in other cases aged rubber will need to be replaced. Same case as 82 XJ6 Series lll.

I hired an auto glass installer to remove both windows and to reinstall them. I don't know where he got the seals from but yes, you have to replace them. They're are two or three pieces in each set and you also have to be careful when removing the chrome so as not to bend the pieces.

William, thanks for the reply. That's what I thought. Did you replace the window seals when you did the respray? If so, where is the best place to buy from? Also, what is the procedure for removing the seals?

When I did a complete respray on my 1986 XJ6, I didn't remove those. It requires a major dis-assembly of the doors and it's not worth it and not needed. You should remove the rear window and windshield.
