The snaps work well. One at the top so the strap doesn't fall in, and one at the bottom the material stretches (very little) but mine holds the window up tight. I put it down on the return road every pass, 300 passes. You can see the left side is down, the right side is up. The shiny spot on the right between the door handle and vent is the down snap.

Do you have a full pic of your car? Just trying to see how that color looks over the whole car,not sure on the color on my 64 and not saying I would do your color,love it, but just getting ideas of shades because some just don't work on a Savoy. Hope that came out right. LOL

Very nice, you got the wheels right too. The hook molding separates top and bottom nicely. I have the regular Hemi scoop but with my Hogan cross ram, which is taller, I think I'll need one like yours. I think the carbs will be real close to hood.

Besides, I tried the buckle. First, it really doesn't do a good job of pulling the window up after the belt goes around all those corners. Second, it is hard on the paint where the belt rubs. And lastly,that buckle flopping around the top of the door when the window is down, isn't cool.

The elastic and a snap is just a better way to go, in my opinion.



On my Dart which has the original set up uses a button style snap to hold the window up.On the window it is attached to the press in plastic insert.
