Re: Window felt weatherstrip (beltline weatherstrip)

I used the Precision brand beltline strips (not from a kit) on my 66, and I thought the fit wae decent, although I did have trouble closing my windows all the way. I had to adjust the window depth where it connects to the regulator to compensate for this. The main problem I had was with the clips that attach the strips to the door. Some of them were so brittle that they would just stap off when I tried to push them into place. I had to scavenge about 5 clips from my old original strips and install them into the new strips to replace the ones I broke. In doing a autopsy of the new clips, they must not have been heat treated properly because they were almost as brittle as uncooked speaghetti.
