A heat gun will help to mold and roller it into place.
You'll notice a nice improvement in cabin noise and stereo sound.
You may be able to remove and re-stick the vapor barrier, but if not, 6 to 10 mil plastic, about 20 ft. of butyl sealant tape, a sharp box cutter and the heat gun will take care of it.
It's also a good time to spread a little bit of NAPA Sil-Glyde on the window tracks. As Robert and others say, less is more. Our passenger side window had a slight groan going up and that cured it.
It may also be a good time to add/replace any mole skin (soft side of Velcro) on the interior side of the door card if you have tinted windows too. Look for Dicktator's "Mole Skin Tint for Windows" here or here.
This will be my first time attending Tech-Day. Have ordered , not received yet from Mike a Front Frame Stiffening Plate, to install. Also having trouble with hatch cover that hides the top, sticks. Think it might be out of adjustment( need help).
Question: Di I need to bring my own tools? How all this works?
Sorry for all the questions!

I will be replacing my upper and lower radiator hoses (from Simple Engineering). If someone has hose clamp pliers, could please bring them. Thanks, that will save me a lot of frustration trying to use a regular pair of pliers.
I threw my radiator hose clamp thingamajig into the stack of items to bring. I’ve used it once or twice, and forgot about it until you mentioned bringing one. But generally do better with my Irwin channel locks, which are in the stack too.
I'm not going to make the trip on down to Winnie on Friday. I'll see you guys on the S. Dakota trip.
Well,I may not make the trip on down to Winnie. My allergies are kicking my old butt. We're in Burleson now. Woke up feeling like crap. Stuffed up head and sneezing. Going to the Doc for a allergyshot. I let you know for sure tomorrow. I know the pollen is worse down there.
For anyone that is coming, please have a look at the attendance list. We’d like to make sure we have a good headcount for food and idea of what work is going to be done.

We look forward to seeing everyone and having a great time!
I just returned home safe.......I will begin to post all the photos either later tonight or tomorrow.....thank every one for letting me take photos of the event...
The Texans "Sure know how to pass a good time!" Got home at 11 today. I really enjoyed being at the Tech Day in Winnie. Good food and good company plus a bunch of SSRs got some TLC. There so many Fanatacs working on trucks you had to get in line just to hand someone a wrench., I was able to help on 4 trucks with windows needing to be adjusted forward and got my battery replaced. Had to jump start truck Beaumont, fortunately a Walmart was near so getting new one was no problem. The Texans jumped to the rescue. Sure was nice not getting under the truck but simply acting as a helper. Nice.
I really appreciate how nice everyone was, and how I was included.
It was great to see you again, Jack. I appreciated having your opinion on a few things. More than anything, it was great..... and Debbie sends her best.
A special thanks to Lester and Liz for putting up with all of us and providing a great place to hold the Brian Coffey Memorial Tech-Day. We really enjoyed seeing all the Fanatics and catching up on the latest in their lives. And what about the great meal they provided, BBQ and Bugs, what a feast.
Super Day!!!!!
