the "window felts" or "cat wiskers" are available from resto dealers as complete piece, rubber and metallic section. Both inner ( attached on interior panel ) and outer are JUST CLOSE to originals, not the same., In fact the outer ones are without the chrome strip. Year One Pieces for example are PIECES OF $**t ( personal experience ).

sending my 1974 charger cat whiskers to restoration specialties to have a correct duplicate made - they are located in PA.  purchased ones from hardwins car world and they do not fit properly.  the holes do not line on the door cat wisker - the chrome bead for the actually upper door panel is not deep enough.
