Window felt weatherstrip (beltline weatherstrip)

[clarsen]

I have the same issue. Ordered the complete window kit (side and vent) from LMC. Everything went together fairly easy until i tried to roll up the window. There is another thread on the subject where someone spread the door frame inside the channel to create a taper. I think im going to give that a try on the other door to see if it works.

I see them on the Brother's site for $29.99, but it doesn't say if this is for one or both doors. Do you know?

I agree....the LMC fuzzies are pretty crappy and the clips are way cheaper and low quality. I ended up slightly bending the lower edges of the door where they attach away from the window opening....this helped angle the bottom edges of the fuzzies away from the glass. I still have to give the window crank a little more oomph at the very top in order for it to close all the way, but it is far better than it was before I did my bending.

Trying to revive this beltline weatherstrip thread. Recently picked up some free samples of beltline weatherstrip from Rubber the Right Way website.
https://www.rubbertherightway.com/wi...s-9418-ctg.htm
Selected these examples to see if they would somehow work for our window sweeps. Here’s some picts of the profiles I picked out, trying to get something with a little overlap over the window opening outer edge as well as enough “length” to be able to fasten them to the window thru the existing clip slots or even newly drilled ones. Be nice to actually have an outer with rubber/felt to squeegee the window on the way down and an inner to give some anti rattle support. Take a look and maybe come up with some ideas for attachment? The first 3 profiles are kind of short on the door edge face, while the last two are longer, and could reach the original clip slots, but the sweep is pretty long into the window slot.

It's been awhile but someone said the best were (Re-pops) or something like that.

great thanks

IDK about Brothers, but my truck was in an accident and I had to replace those fuzzies, I ordered a set from LMC and it came as a pair for both doors

[theastronaut]

We cut flat glass so we could cut it taller... The problem with that is it wouldn't roll down all the way, the stop at the bottom isn't adjustable so you'll have the glass sticking up above the felt/door edge when it's rolled down all the way. If the proper felt is used the glass should roll up all the way.

I tried to install the ones from brothers and they are the same as the ones from Steel Rubber products and LMC. They are all horrible. The clips they use are just the same and are impossible to remove without destroying the clips. I can not figure out why they don't even make the clips like the originals. They are also to long on the end that has the curve. So I had to trim it. This sucks. I am trying to install the ones that are meant for a 60-63. I wonder if the people that have had success with any of these products bought the ones for a 64-66.

the ones I got from LMC did not have the chrome bed, steel is known for there rubber they probably buy there fuzzies from a supplier just like the rest of them and may not always buy from the same supplier I hope the ones I just ordered from brothers are the same as the last set

[forestb]

What year are you ordering them for. The 64-66 might be awesome and the 60-63 horrible.

64 66

[theastronaut]

You have to drill into the flange at an angle, no room to go straight in.

[The Rocknrod]

Page 499 of the Auveco catalog has some interesting clips that could be used on the felts (or newly made sweepers for the outside) . . . maybe.

Precision makes a video of the install. They have the ends of the fuzzy's under the glass channel (at the latch end of the door):

Yes, correct, that's not the issue. The metal U "channel" that the glass sits in hits the outer fuzzy and stops the glass from being rolled all the way up. You can see it bind up and push the outer door skin outward under binding load.

And for the Mods by the way this should be in the FAQ section.

That link does not work.

Well shoot, now I can't even find the link I posted above, but I did find other info:

I've finally reached the final assembly stage and attempted to install the Brand-X sweeps that came with the truck. Experienced many of the same problems described by other members, ie: difficulty of installation, sweeps end up slightly too low, windows won't roll all the way up, etc, etc. Determined to solve this mystery, today I strolled in to All American Classics in Vancouver, WA looking for some help. I asked to look at their best quality sweeps to compare with the Brand-X sweep I had with me. BINGO! They showed me a set of "Repops" which had much sturdier clips that are also mounted lower on the sweep. This concurs with 64fleetside's theory, should result in the sweeps flushing out with the window sill and allow the window to roll all the way up. I plan to install the new sweeps tomorrow, so stay tuned. If any one is interested, these are manufactured in the USA by Montco Mfg of Mena, Arkansas and are marketed under the brand name "Repops". Part No. for 64-66 C-10 is CT160 I purchased mine at All American Classics of Vancouver, WA Ph #: (800) 955-4999

Where did you quote this from and did he ever give an update on how they turned out?

Has nobody tried these since the author of the post said they fit well & functioned properly?

I got a set for my 62 and they were exactly the same as the rest. I am going to try and screw them in a little higher than the clips put them. I will do this when I have the guts and the time

This is madning! One person uses one of part brand X & his fits fine & the next person uses the very same part & it's crap like brand Z!
Be it window belt or fender or rocker! I bet the people who sell this stuff read all our posts & sit back & laugh their ass off at us!

They keep selling it, I am sure they simply do not care. I just bought a set of regulators from CJ Pony parts, both have incorrect splines on the handle, they will not let the crank slide on properly. JUNK
