Best door window whiskers and channels?? | The De Tomaso Forums

lf-tp2511Member

Looking for recent experiences regarding new window felt whiskers and glass channels.

I believe most of the whiskers sold by vendors need to be cut to proper size, not sure about the glass channels.

Also aware that stock whiskers had a black exposed edge and some, all?, vendor replacements have a chrome exposed edge.

All feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry

Larry,

Don't use the glass U-channel rubber from PIM, it's thick and it grips the window so tight it will not move freely, money & time wasted. I replaced them with U-channel from Larry Stock and they worked much better. The thickness is visually greater on the PIM vs Stock's.

I'm curious about the long-term durability will be on the cat whiskers RRS1 used. They look great and I like the 3M adhesive.

I also just did this with materials from Wilkinson and it went well. The windows move properly through the channels.

I used triumph spitfire whiskers, works well too.
