Window sweeps that use rivets
« on: June 07, 2013 - 08:14:03 AM »
Hello,

Has anyone bought the window sweeps that use rivets? I made the biggest mistake by doing that. I bought them because they were a lot cheaper and now I know why. I used the swweps that bolt to the door, but the ones that attach to the door panel use rivets and it is going to be way to much effort to attach. Does anyone know if I can buy just the sweeps that attacht to the door and quarter panels?

 :iagree: They are crap

I ordered mine not because they were cheap, they weren`t.  I had no other choice, they were the only ones my parts supplier sold. I never asked how they fit, but I think I know the answer if I had ...   :bricks1:
I installed them on one side and then left the originals on the other side. Gotta get me some good ones some day.

I already slapped myself for the lesson learned. I may set them on fire as opposed to throwing them away. I might get more enjoyment out of it. To make things worse, The ones that screw on the door didn'nt even line up with the holes. You could see little X marks where they were supposed to drill the holes and they drilled them above the marks. The thing was about a quarter inch below the top of the door.  :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair:
