Door glass stick on felt stuff for inner weather strip

Postby Benmac » Wed 16.12.2009, 15:57

Errrm, as per the title does anyone know where I can get the slihtly furry draft excluder type stuff that is stuck on the inner edge of the gap for the window in the top of the door? I've looked on Wollies and Vintage car parts but to no avail. I have the old stuff and its intact but as I am refreshing the outer weatherstrip and all sorts of other bits and bobs on the door it seems daft not to do this as well, particularly as I'll need to make up some of those pads to stop the damn thing rattling.

Any ideas where I can trace some? Its self adhesive and about an inch wide.

Ben you can get this from SJ's HERE -- top line

Think it is not self-adhesive, you'd need double-sided tape to fit it. Think I used 3M but can't remember the number.

The stuff from SJ's is not quite the same as the original stuff, as the "fur" is not as thick, but it will do in a pinch. I used SJs stuff on the window supports where it had fallen off, but re-affixed my original inner weather strip. Unless your original strip is a real mess, I'd try just removing all the old tape and re-affixing it with new tape. 3M sells a double-sided mounting tape that is the perfect width. I think it may well be what was used originally (the strips were not self-adhesive).

Nice one . Ordered. Dunno why I didn't try them first althogh I am surprised Woolies et al don't sell it. I need a few of the tiny clips for the lock rods as well but they've only got two ofthose :-(. If anyone else has spares I would gladly purchase them from you.

My furry bits were starting to fall off, :shock:
I couldn't get hold of anything that looked like the original, :?
I ended up sticking the originals back on with a black glue (commonly used by the auto trade for sticking spoilers on etc),
I had to clean all the old glue off first and clean the fur using a soapy wash, it's hard work but I'm pleased with the end result. :wink:
