Well I recently took the windows out of my car and have decided it would be a good time to replace some of the internal seals/guides before I put the windows back in. Most of my stuff is in pretty good shape but 3 pieces I found haven’t weathered so well.
What I am looking for is a good aftermarket replacement for the three numbered items in the picture below (5, 7 & 18). Any help in finding these parts would be greatly appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

A good substitute for the door fuzzy stuff is the loop part of Velcro.
or try Mittlemotor http://www.mittelmotor.de/english/startenglish.htm |

Thanks for the info.
I checked PP already and inner window fuzzy is priced right ($9 a side) but the other two pieces are $51 & $32 apiece (ouch!). I was hoping that they were a common part (for that time) and that someplace had them cheaper. |

Yup, call Dave at GPR. He's got it.
BTW, replacing the fuzzy strips is a MAJOR PITA!. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

Yes, the piece that goes along the top of the door is a real problem. Seem to remember using some lubricate and lots of cuss words during the process. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif)

I did not have too much trouble with the outer brush just make sure that the channel is very clean. The old brush will rust and may make it difficult to slide in the new one that is why it is very important to clean the channel.
I agree that the window scraper is a pain, but as William suggested use a lot of lubricant. I used petroleum jelly, I did not want to get silicone all over my new brush.... |
