It's too late. The thought is the deed.
I just got nailed on my '59 Mercedes. The window rubber is getting old.
Kind of drafty, but no really noticable until it started getting cold out.
I told myself that I would JUST replace the rubberthis winter.
Yeah....right.
As of today, the car is slated for a full engine rebuild, bead blasting and
paint, re-stiching and dye job on the leather, new headliner, etc.
I swear, all I really want to do is the window rubber.
Vehicle "maintenance" is a metaphysical thing. It just "is".
