TallJohn Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm putting together my door panels from Clarke's, and just wondering about the window felts install. On the rear windows I attached the felts with small screws that do not interfere or scrape the glass. Just wondering if anyone has a different method for the install before I do the same with the fronts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alini Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The outside felts are held in with screws. The inner ones are staples from the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelempert Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Alini is right. I thought I'd be clever and tried small aluminum rivets. Figured the rivets would be snug, low profile and wouldn't rust. Big mistake. So tight the window would barely go up and luckily I avoided scratching the glass. Had to undo it all and redo with screws and staples. Live and learn. PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have always used JB Weld to attach sweeps on 66-67s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallJohn Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks guys . I think I will go with the screws like I did on the rears. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Blackened screws and black wire for the staples make the best appearance. When I look at a car critically I always walk right up to the window and look down at the fur strips. The shiny screws, sometimes even flat heads, shiny pop rivets, loose glass, gaps, and overspray are very common. I took a buyer to an auction once and told him we would look at the fur strips to gauge attention to detail on cars he was interested in. We sure saved a lot of time. It's hard (expensive) to make them nice. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
