Who makes the most authentic window sweeper kits? Anyone make them with the clips installed, etc. I don't mind paying for a set that fits and replicates the factory items. I have a older (new) set of the cheezy ones and they look like crap next to the originals.

Looking for my '71 RR.

Any suggestions of where to shop for a set?

Not sure where to shop for them, but from my experience Top Cats are the best. I'm like you have a set made by someone else back when I did my 71 in 05, they didn't fit worth a crap and were a different design. Luckily my old ones were in pretty good shape and I reused them.

Then I think at the Nationals a few years ago I picked up a set of Top Cats, isn't it the same guy First place auto or something like sells the repo wings too?

Anyway I put them on my 74 a few weeks ago and they fit great and work wonderful. Set my glass guides with my new "whiskers" and now my doors are much quieter when I slam it, no glass sound.

Take this lower stop out and you can get to all the screws.



I did it on a 95 degree day while the car was still on the trailer from last trip. Didn't like seeing water run down there as I'm washing off Bonneville salt! It was a good time to use a shop vac and clean out my doors and make sure the drains are open.

My old ones that weren't really there. lol


The wife is unloading the RV and I'm working on the car. Got to have your priorities in order.

Sorry about that, yet another glitch from my Keystone Cop website developers. LOL.

We do have them and 70 is different from 71-4 by the way the outers attach. 70 has clips and 71-4 uses small screws. So, before ordering check your doors and make sure you don't have one of each. It happens alot. No sweat if you do, we'll work with you on it.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. As a small family business we live and die by customer referrals.
