Opinions on an Idea I had/Blazer jimmy door top caps
Hey guys, been gone a while (got married in july and have been working like a dog)
Anyway, I am taking a manufacturing tooling class this semester and we have to design and make a mold for an injection molding machine. The school is paying for the materials and my teacher said that I could make whatever I wanted, so here goes. I was thinking of making some replacement door top caps for first gen blazers and jimmy's. You know the plastic cap that goes on top of the triangle window where it meets the weatherstrip. From what research I have done, no one offers these aftermarket and I only have one of the original ones from my jimmy. Would anybody be interested in some if I was actually able to make them? Or is there already a commercially available replacement? Maybe it wouldn't be worth it. I'm going to my parents house tomorrow to look at my cap and get an idea if it is feaseable. Lemme know what you think. I know of at least one person besides myself that would want one. Thanks

If you can keep the price reasonable you can probably sell quite a few sets. The problem is we have had a few guys get excited about making them but no one seems to be able to get it done. I know I would be interested.

Just an idea not as complex as the door caps but the little plastic caps that go with the screw for the bottom of the vent windows to stabilize the doo. I paid a guy $10 bucks for a set and a few months back several people were looking for them a simple non being not yet being repod market just an idea

I saw the ones at Brothers, I think the price is a little steep. I think 30.00 is probably closer to what I would pay.
