Just like the late end caps these were needed, so I'm making them. They will be ready in about 3 weeks and will run $24 a set (both left and right) in rubber in the pre-buy.

I really feel the rubber is a much nicer finished product, so unless there is demand for the plastic, I don't see the point in going that route.


I will also have some more early style items coming very soon too. In fact they should be ready before these, but we'll see.

Just add you response to the thread and I'll let you know the specifics when they're ready to start shipping.

Sorry no pic yet
They are placed at the end of the outer door window seal.

These are different to the later style from 73-76 and NLA,
so I'm happy that Mark make them.

Do you make/sell the late models ones too? If you do, I'll take a set.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 24 2010, 12:57 AM

Late style are in production $14.50 a set for plastic, $19.00 for rubber.
I personally like the rubber, but both work. Check out my other thread for more details

Hmmm... Still unsure where I would find them. I guess inside the door near the back. I'm not about to fumble around in the garage at 6am, nor am I willing to take my door apart to tell if I have them or not. Put me down for a pair...

I just paypaled you for a set Mark. I'll also get the early cap off to you tommorow. Thanks

Posted by: RobW Mar 24 2010, 07:06 AM

Mine are on the car and they are awesome! A must have if yours are falling apart....

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 24 2010, 09:54 AM

Just look at the door top closest to the handle. If there's a hole there, that't where these go.

Posted by: tradisrad Mar 24 2010, 09:57 AM

I can use a set also. Have these been produced yet?

Posted by: cobra94563 Mar 24 2010, 03:32 PM

I think I committed to these in an earlier posting. I'll definitely take a set.

Received my late model rubber end caps yesterday. Great stuff, Thanks Mark

Posted by: jsaum Mar 31 2010, 07:57 PM

I need a set for my '72. I received the late model set last week - thanks!

Posted by: DEC May 7 2010, 01:06 AM

any news?

Posted by: Mikey914 May 7 2010, 01:10 PM

Up date on these. First parts will be ready after WCR May 18th is, with production that week. I will not collect any money on these until I've got my first article in hand (with pictures posted). I would have later this next week, but I'm taking off 3 days for WCR.

Posted by: rekphiv May 7 2010, 01:13 PM

Which style do I need if I have an early 73? Late style regulator but no door reinforcement.

Posted by: McMark May 7 2010, 01:47 PM

Posted by: Mikey914 May 7 2010, 08:32 PM

Easiest way to tell is look at the end of the doors. If there are screw holes, they're late. With the late regulator I suspect it's late also.

Hi Mark,
What's status of the end caps?

I need them to finish my car.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 1 2010, 09:03 AM

Should be done in about 2 weeks, maybe less. Just reworking the part of the dies on the edges.

-mark

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 15 2010, 08:35 PM

These are FINALLY done!!!!
Below are the pictures of the first parts.

I also learned why these were so hard to find in one piece (See below).

Apparently one of the reasons the edges seem to be all broken out on most of the examples I could find what the sheet metal at the edge toward the front (on the side with the long lower track-inside) is often bent. You can see the edge of the metal is not straight. When I tried to fit I noticed it didn't quite fit, but I could push it down. Until, it started to crack out the edge, then, it fit.

Moral of the story, you may need to straighten the sheet metal where they fit.
