Re: Window felt weatherstrip (beltline weatherstrip)

I used the Precision brand beltline strips (not from a kit) on my 66, and I thought the fit wae decent, although I did have trouble closing my windows all the way. I had to adjust the window depth where it connects to the regulator to compensate for this. The main problem I had was with the clips that attach the strips to the door. Some of them were so brittle that they would just stap off when I tried to push them into place. I had to scavenge about 5 clips from my old original strips and install them into the new strips to replace the ones I broke. In doing a autopsy of the new clips, they must not have been heat treated properly because they were almost as brittle as uncooked speaghetti.

There did you get the individual strips not in the kit. All the suppliers I saw only sold the kit.
