bluesy66 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi All, Making good progress on rivi. Hope to be done by end of summer. I'm looking a pn or source for window channel fuzzies for this car. Also is there any alternative to the turn signal switch? It has 9 terminals Have a rebuilt wiper motor to change out. Any tips? That's it for now Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Mckenzie Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Re-Pops makes the fuzzies CARS sells them probably many other vendors. The only alternative for turn signal switch I know of is arm signals til you can fix the problem.lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomuchvinyl Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I actually saw a driver using hand signals recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedeDownUnderR63 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Can’t say that I ever used hand signals and I guess it would be inviting to be involved in an accident in today’s traffic. I installed LEDs in the rear of my 63 to make certain that anyone behind my car clearly could see what I was doing as the original lamps was rather weak. Good luck with the turn signal switch.

I'm always amazed at what they've accumulated over the years of parting out Rivieras for a living. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRiviDad Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I bought my fuzzies from https://www.rubbertherightway.com/. I think their website has demensions. They sell pre-cut fuzzies & cut to fit fuzzies. I bought the pre-cut ones but have not installed mine yet. So can’t comment on figment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled box off shelf & once again, I was pleasantly surprised how nice these felts look. I loosely test fit each piece to my existing felts & they look identical. Except for the small offset in the outer felt above the door handle. Doesn’t look hard to put the offset in when installing tho. Box is labeled with the Mfg Co. logo “Repops” (Montco Mfg.) & sold thru Rubber the Right Way (maybe others too). Price has gone up by almost $30 in 5 years…inflation I guess? I do like that they have a Lifetime Warranty to the original owner IF u send in the registration form within 30 days of purchase…I didn’t ??♂️ With the start of this thread I was inspired to call my local upholstery guy for a quote on installation of these felts. I said I would remove all the old trim, take it to him to R&R the felts with staples like original. $250 was the quote ? I didn’t think it would be so high. Then I noticed there are staples & screws with install instructions included in this box. Sweet!! Maybe I’ll install myself ??♂️??♂️??♂️ Coincidentally, before all this talk, I recently saw a 64 at his shop with new window felts installed using rivets. He didn’t do the install but he pointed out its an easier install that some guys prefer. He said the rivets are way too visible & scream “look at me” to detail oriented guys like most of us. So DONT USE RIVETS haha Sorry for long post…hope this helps… Edited August 1, 2018 by RockinRiviDad (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbinator Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 My turn signals on my 63 worked better when I grounded the metal bulb socket to the body of the car. i changed fuses, flasher, adjusted the turn signal “ wire” that actuated the turn signal switch. Cleaned the switch and mounted in s secure fashion on the steering column. The gents on the forum steered me straight to get the lights working.
