Hey everyone i recently purchased a pre cut window from voyeur mods and cant wait to get installed. I cut out the design using a nibbler tool. Now i have the chore of getting the weather stripping installed along with the window. The instructions mention that using armor all can make getting the weather stripping around the window and the locking strip in easier. However I dont have any armor all and am looking for something that will make installation easier. Ant tips would be gladly appreciated.

from prior experience, I'd recommend:
- shampoo (preferably baby)
or wd40 (in moderation)
or any type of lubricant for that matter...
i think the reason they suggest armor all is that eventually, it would go away. problem w/ some lubricants and oils is that it stays a long time and may end up making a mess with fingermarks, etc.
i say go with shampoo or some liquid soap (dish detergent)
presently i have access to body soap, shampoo, and hand soap, will either of those 3 work? Will i have to worry about getting liquid caught in the weather stripping, the reason that i ask this is that this window is for the top panel to provide an exhaust for my vid card directly beneath it
yeah my mobo is inverted, outside of soapy water i dont know what else i could use. I have wood polish and some other house cleaners. As far as the order of installation goes shoul i install the weatherstripping first, then the window and lastly the locking strip or is there an easier way?
yea - unfortunately, arm wrestling is kinda part of the process...gilga said:yeah my mobo is inverted, outside of soapy water i dont know what else i could use.

from my instructions:
There is a trick to getting the window on, and here it is. Stretch the molding to fit the
window. The smallest gap in the molding is to accommodate the edge of your case. Its
the thinnest gap on the molding. You will see a ¼ inch thick gap in the molding m that is
to accommodate the window itself. Then you will see a triangular gap in the molding and
this is for the locking strip to close the molding and make the window snug and free from
a looseness or vibration.
10) On to installing. Place rubber gasket molding along the window that you just cut in
your case using our washer and your cutting tool. Work the gasket around the inside of
the cases edge until you have secured the gasket around its edge. NOTE: You may need
to trim some of the gasket to length with some scissors. Please leave extra length on the
molding as you do not want it to short. Once the gasket is around the cases window edge,
take your window and angle in one side of the window into the ¼ inch gap that is for the
plastic window. Now push the rest of the window in slowly, working it around to get it
snug. Use some spray silicone to work with the rubber if you need to.
11) Once the window is in, you need to put the locking strip in. The locking strip is
attached to the window molding already and simply needs to be snapped in place. This is
the piece that will tighten the ¼ inch gap where the window is sitting making the window
tight and snug. NOTE: To work the locking strip in, use a plastic knife or a paperclip to
separate the molding a little while pushing the locking strip down low into the groove.
The locking strip should be low in the groove. Continue this process, working it in
slowly. It will eventually go in. Again, use some spray silicone to work with the rubber if
needed. Lots of Windex also works as well
