PW motor died so I got a new one today.Have the window and all the mechanism out. Got new wlndow sweeps and looking at them I'm wondering can they be installed before the glass goes in or after?

I really don't see that happening.The optimas are lighter than a flooded battery but the overall weight gain with 2 of them is 25 spread equally across the tray. And my tray is very sturdy never rusted thanks to optimas being on it since 91. However I'll look at it today cause I like small...
