Re: Refining "Sierra"

So its been a real rough week for me with a load of negativity falling on my head, but that part of life. Tonight I got home late, but the full on thrash has begun. If I dont get it running by Sunday, I'm probably not going to succeed. Tonight I was determined to install the vent windows so we could seal the cab up and get it cleaned up inside.

The new seals that were installed on the vents made them extremely tight going in. I fought for quite some time before I found the key to getting them back in position. Once they were installed I added the latch assembly and closed one side nice and tight. No more leaks.

Since I had added sound deadner to the door skin, I wanted to take another step to help seal the door and make it quitter. I took an idea from the new cars and added a heavy plastic skin inside the door under the panel. I used double sided tape to set it in place, then added a layer of duct tape to close it tight. It's not airtight, but it close.
