53 Clipper being repainted. What is this weather strip called? Should I replace? Fender needs to be loosened up for this piece. I ordered the complete kit from Kanter. I don't believe it is included

Thanks Ross. Too late. I tried a different method that didn't work well. Will need new ones at some point

Welcome to a wonderful web page that has a lot of information. The members are especially great at offering advice and support to your new vice! I have a 53 Clipper that I was thinking about converting to a GM drive train. The members on this page urged me to install an overdrive and keep it Packard stock. Glad I did! Welcome again! Steve

Wow, you are in the know! Not sure about putting this together with stuff in my shop. I will try to heat it up and remove. I will let you know how it works out! Thanks Howard!

What's the best way to remove these so that I can remove door trim to have it painted? I have the blade type. Do they need to be heated? Thinking that they are wedge on

It is a 53. Needs tie rod ends and one sleeve. The front end guy said the king pins were the problem. Mentioned that I would have to find someone that does those. You mentioned a reamer? Is that what he was referring to most likely?

Took my Clipper to a front end shop this morning. Found a few things that need to be replaced. King pins seem to be a problem that I'm not sure how to address. Showed obvious wear. Thought and suggestions are needed. Thanks. Steve

Drove my Clipper today in the rain. First time. Noticed that when engine is under stress, wipers slow way down or stop. Let up on accelerator and they resume. Is this normal operation? Thanks
