Im fixing to find some of the outer window felts that go across the top of the door just wondering anyones opinons and places to buy.
also I wonder if you can but the strip that goes on the t top edge. I dont really know the exact term, but the rubber piece that gets old and sags eventually the window catches it. Does anyone make replacements for that?
Thanks , car is 89 iroc

 

www.rockauto.com is a good place to get the outer window sweeps. I think they were like 23 bucks per side

 

The drip edge is available from 1A and a few other places. It comes in plastic or rubber.

 

I bought my window sweeps in a set for inner and outer from 1a auto on ebay. Got a great deal, for inner and outers for just under $80.

I need the plastic drip edge on my t-tops also, so make sure to post up quality and price of where you got yours.

 

I have some pics of the rubber ones on my car. I have since gone to the plastic ones.
I switched to the plastic because I didn't like the way they sat onto the edge. The double faced tape doesn't hold that well, and there is a space there. It feels like they needed to be molded a bit better - like it is forcing itself away from the edge.
I don't have pics of the plastic ones, but I do like the way the rubber looks better then the plastic. The plastic ones have a cheap look to them - like an imitation of the real thing.

 

i cannot believe sweeps are that cheap, this cant be right, if its the whole sweep for 23.89 i'm all over that, mine have been letting water into my doors for over 6 months now

 

additionally, anyone know where on earth i could find new sets of the little screws that hold the sweeps in place

 

it is the outer sweeps, i bought some and they do fit very nice. As far as the screws, i would think any hardware store should have something that will work.

 

bitchin, next payday I'm getting me two new outer window sweeps just clarifying again this is the rubber too yes? that seals to the glass and keeps water from getting into the door

 

yea thats what they are. i will post a pic tomorrow of the driver one installed. i havent put the passenger one on yet

 

great, just in dis belief they are usually so expensive

 

Here's a link to the weathertrip section on our site if you would like to check it out. http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Weatherstri...ampaign=1ATony

 

thanks for the link tony! cant beat these kinda prices, why are they 80-90 some dollars everywhere else i've looked? and you guys have them at bottom dollar prices?

 

We buy so much of it, that we have a pretty good savings on them, so we pass it along to our customers.

 

+1 for 1A

 

Was piddling around with the ol heap today and took a couple photos of the outer window sweeps installed. got em from 1A they fit and work nice imo.
I also purchased the t top drip edge molding, havent gotten to those yet. But they appear nice however.

 

no pics yet of mine, got it form rockauto feels great, looks way better then none at all lol, only thing is, and it may be because i did it on a cold *** day, all the holes lines up perfect, except the last one, when the last one lined up, none of the others did, oh well fits fine without the last one in. pics soon

 

Damn - those look good.

 

I will note that I got a FREE set of knockoff window sweeps/rubbers from a bud.
I will also note that all the holes lined up except for the last one.
I just re-drilled the last hole to match the door holes and they worked fine.

 

yea i think i had 1 hole that was off just a dick fuzz too. Just slott it a little and wa la.
Either way for anyone wondering, they are nice, no problem installing. Should be good to go for another 20+ years

For anyone wondering about the junk wheels and missing seats, etc. This car is still in process or reassembly after 3 years of tinkering off and on. From about day # 3 until now photos below.

The tires on the original wheels were dry rotted as this car had sat for a couple years. So before i painted it i put on junker wheels, dismounted tires from original wheels, stripped all the clear, blasted em and repainted and polished. They will go on prob sometime this spring.
