You literally feel like you made ice cream out of a bowl of sh#t by the time you get some of this repo crap on the car correctly only after spending hours for something that should take minutes!!!

It got to the point on my 71 that if I had the choice of a damaged OEM peice or a repop I stayed with the OEM... Like you guys, I was not happy with a lot of the repop stuff I received

I remember installing these horse ***** pieces years ago. felts are way to big!! like a caveman, I grabbed my rubber mallet and pounded them on. now they have this sort of radious in them. kinda folded over as they were going on. oh well, for some strange reason it always feels good to swing a hammer or the like when having difficulties with anything................

Oh boy, I guess I've got some real fun to look forward to. that was on my todo list for the weekend. maybe I'll do it next week

Should be the same process I do for the 70-2 Skylarks.....clean the glass with razor scraper. Place rubber U-channel on glass. Place a small amount of Silicone spray on the rubber U-channel from top to bottom. Start at the top corner and then use a rubber mallet and tap into place. I always take a file and dress those sharp bottom edges...then spray silicone spray or soapy water on the window chrome rubber seal and slide into the chrome channel.

I'd agree if the metal was actually radiused to the same curvature as the glass but it wasn't (on mine at least). On the left side piece, if you slid it onto the glass withOUT the rubber, it would bind on the glass and actually stay on there without holding it, that's how far off it was. With the rubber U channel it was just too much pressure and as you try to work the bottom on after starting at the top the rubber had no where to go. The metal wasn't curved enough to match the glass so it bound up at three points, the top and bottom on the inside edge and the middle on the outside edge.

As far as the CAD comment....SURE they use CAD in Taiwan....it's called the Crap Ass Design method where they figure out how cheap they can make something and still make it look like the original from a distance before anything as trivial as correct fitment comes into play!
