Easy Window Question
Doing the window thing (oh boy)
The fuzzy channel piece that goes in the long vertical channel on the back of the vent assembly (where the side glass rides in) - I'd swear one side of the fuzzy piece looks thicker than the other. Am I hallucinating, or does it make a difference which way it goes in there? Is it glued in, or just held in place with the rivets? Thanks |

Paul, I think it's the rivets because someone on here was selling the rivets. No positive but I figured somebody should reply with some info. I looked the the LMC catalog and it seems to confirm this. Don't know about the fuzzier side.

I used rivets.Three spaced top center and bottom.I couldn't get the anvil of the rivet gun to seat all the way down in the channel and knew the rivet head would not let the window glide by if it wasn't embeded in the fuzzy.I went to my trusty spare bolt's, nuts and whatnot bin and stacked a couple of #8 nuts between the anvil and the rivet head.It made the rivet head seat flat and then pulled it up so it wouldn't stick into the track.I didn't notice any difference in the fuzzy's so I can't help with that part of your question.
p.s. Make sure you do the top or bottom the pull the fuzzy toward the opposite end while drilling so it is stretched to stay tight in the channel.I also would recomend the smallest rivets... maybe 1/8 in. they have a smaller head and use short ones though you may need to cut the back down for it to fit in the door channel.

We glue the fuzzies in with 3M trim cement and have had no
problems. We have been doing it this way since 1988 with no failures, (still have trucks). We use the fuzzie material and glue it into the old channel. Jim |

The ones we sell need no glue or rivets they are correct G.M. tooling.
