Mark, I am in for a set, but is the bulb that slides into the aluminum track larger than the last ones you did? My issue with the scrappers was the bulb portion kept popping out of the track. I went and installed earlier model scrappers and it went into the track with the right tension and does not pop out every time I roll up the windows. is there a difference in the aluminum door track between early model and late model?

I truly appreciate all you go through to bring good parts Mark.
That said, the lubricity (not sure if that's the right term) and durometer of the squeegees of yours that I saw was not right. They looked the part but the rubber was so sticky it pulled out of the channel. My thinking was that a harder rubber wouldn't stick to the glass and pull out. |

Our rubber for these is the same durometer used on 90% of the other seals. The thinner seals seem more soft but are not. They do harden over time, so one of the fixes was to bake them. Any harder they become more difficult to install. A catch 22, unless you change another variable, which we just did.

BTW thanks for sending the door card nut arm rest nut plates. |

The early "correct" version was made specifically for the 914 you can see the profile is completely different. The early do not grab the window. At some point in 73 they decided to superseded the part with the 911 one they already made as it "worked"
You can see where I have installed it on my 75 (the early) it's actually completely different. Only the bulb size is the same. That's the early / late deal. |

I'm still in for a set, I'll have to see how the bulb size works out. because there is definite difference between the two stiles and it may be I got the early style from the pelican which could account for the possible manufacturing difference in size/tolerance.
Thanks, |

I have a set of yours (the one that "suck" - ha!) ready to go in, @Mikey914 but I should probably get these instead and avoid the hassle/frustration, right?
(you crack me up with the title of this thread....) |
