Maintenance KitYou will need to replace all of the plastic bits you find in this. R/T Specialties has most of what you need but is usually more expensive and not as complete a kit."Fuzzies" or Window WiskersSubmitted by: Paul Q on 02/07/06The easiest way to replace the rear quarter fuzzies is to remove the inner door panels, and remove the lower window stops. Then, the window will drop down far enough to let you change the fuzzies out. Submitted by : Aarin on 02/05/06 If you want original type appearing windowfelts or
catwhiskers, DO NOT buy the parts manufactured by PUI. They do not have
the flocked wiper on the outer, merely using the same material as the
inner, which is a poor copy of the correct type. The original inner is
a very dense "bristle" effect, with a squared off look (like a flat-top
brush cut). This PUI junk is a softer, less dense material with a
rounded off cross-section. I looked at a vendor (Deutschman Automotive) at a swap meet last week. He had a no-name package which contained the spitting image of the PUI stuff which I have no use for. I am about to order from John
P, as he assures me that his are of the correct profile. Submitted by: Greg Rose on 02/09/06 Lengendary Auto Interiors |
