71 window felts
« on: July 28, 2010 - 02:30:30 PM »
Do the reproduction inner window felts only come with the clip on type or are they offered as the screw in type also? Mine were the screw in type.

Think the door's clipped in for '70...my 73 screw in the doors clip in the rear 71-4 is a different part.
  Check w/aznick he sources the better felts...

Yes I'm aware of that CP. I just never saw in any ads..."These felts are the screw in type" or..."These felts clip in"

I've seen both, in person, at last year's Nat's. Almost bought both types because I was going to use a '73 door on the driver's side (ended up modifying it to take the clips). I believe they were at First Place Auto Part's booth (the guys that sell the spoilers). Like you said, I haven't seen the specifically described in any ads either and FP's website doesn't even list ANY of those weather strips. Maybe a call to them would help. FYI, the ones I got said "Authentic Restoration Product" on the box, here's what I ended up getting.

You're welcome. I'd be curious as to what you find out from them. It's pretty odd that their website has no mention of them. Even odder thing is that none of suppliers/sponsors on this board have chimed in.
