Show Me Your Fuzzies (No.. not you Congressman Wiener!)

Do any of you know of anybody making window fuzzies that fit in the correct factory location, flush with the window sill door sheet metal?

Let me explain....

Finished up installing the new door glass weatherstripping. Quite an adventure, again partly due to the previous owners shennaigans. Found out the drivers side door glass actuator had one of the arms installed upside down. That raised the front of the glass up about 5/8".

Now that I fixed that and installed all the new rubber products I am pretty pleased, except for one thing. The window fuzzies just are not designed right, and they are quality is poor, IMO.

I went ahead and bought the chrome fuzzies because some of you posted that the black ones rust real quickly. Well they sit to low, actually slightly below the window sill door sheet metal. This makes the window in the up postion just barely fitting into the upper track moulding. And (2) of the retaining clips broke off during installation.

Window fuzzies are made in America by "Repops" in Pearcy Arkansas. I will follow up with contacting them tomorrow.


You can see in this photo how the outer window fuzzy is lower than the door window sill. About 0.160" in front by the ventilator.
