Just the "hairy" stuff or the whole part?

I think that Tom (R/T Specialties) was working on these. Maybe he will update us?

I'll take a car set if you or Tom can come up with a correct looking replacement.

I talked to Tom about those maybe just only 6 months ago - maybe more - and he said they weren't available... didn't mention working on them....

Yes, we NEED this part.

I brought this stuff to Tom's attention several years ago, he was trying to find the supplier.
I used this material when I restored my Challenger, you will need several kits, I ran the strips parallel to the plate, the adhesive is very strong, it is a little time consuming but looks nice, and works great.

Yes Jim, I would take a full set too if you can find the material. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything.

I think Funkbrothers was selling reconditioned ones on ebay a while back but I would not buy from them and I just need the fuzz and not the whole bracket.

It LOOKS close.

I never knew they were that hard to find in good shape used ? The ones on my Challenger were mint but my car has been off the road since 86. Junkyard should be loaded with small parts like that cuz the B-C Body car had some of the same ones.

The problem is when they get old they get flat and dirt, grit gets in them. That is what caused some of the vertical scratches on the side windows.

James
here is a pic of what you get, 8", as mentioned in my earlier post you will need 2 kits.

They used two different materials (maybe more??)
On the ones I have (some from my original 1971 doors, some from donor doors of another year) it happens that the different materials are on the two different types of the brackets. So it could be a 'type of bracket' thing, or a 'depends on year' thing

Either way, these are definitely different material - one is more 'hairy' (right)and one is more 'fuzzy' (left)

I think you can see both in the above posted pics, as well as my pic below.
If you need to see the detail click on the attachment to get the full sized pic, it is pretty clear.

Which is what year? Are these from E bodies? Are the other "bodies" the same material?

Also looks like theres a backing on the hair ones that wrap around the bracket.

Is that hair one in the one picture removed from the bracket? If so can you lay it out flat and take a picture and some measurements? I found a company that ACTUALLY makes the stuff but they have MASSIVE minimums.

Also how "tall" is the hair on each? Have a set of calipers to measure accurately?

Bump for some measurements. Also if anyone has any other body window guides with pics and measurements I'd be interested.

Couple samples I have comming.

This modern stuff is actually Florine or Teflon instead of the old, scratchy polypro or nylon fibers.

Also noteworthy Jim... some of these have a
soft rubber cushion glued under them as well.

have a collection of those I could borrow Rick?

Thin rubber I can supply. I could laser cut pieces to shape that would have to be stacked/assembled to get the desired effect. I've found an industrial green-black 3M contact cement that works WELL at assembling foams and rubbers.
