Where can I get replacement Window Sweeps for my 1973 Charger SE?
They go on the outside of the glass between the door.
I have been Googling for them (Window Sweeps and Window Felts) and can not find any.

Any ideas?  :brickwall:

Thanks

year one even those really suck. ( my own experience, I could make it better buying the 8' length stripe and cut by myself  )

paddock, GTrestorations etc... any restorer dealer should have them.

another names are window weatherstripes, cat wiskers...

nobody has them for the SE with brougham type upper door panels - bought them from hardens world and they do not fit correctly - one company is trying to reproduce them RPM restorations - i am trying to send my originals to them so they can make sure they make them right.

they are the same than hardtops, just that quarters parts won't be used.

Brougham use the same than regulars, and is true repros are not tube kind like originals, they are V shaped, beside the outer felt is without the chrome strip and holes don't match... at least Year One ones

just got my window felts/cat whiskers from RPM restorations in PA and they came out great - they copied my old ones - put new ones on the door and fit great - need to put them on the interior upper door panels - i guess i need to drill some holes and place some screws in them - looks like the originals had staples in them - i will try to screw them in this week - cost was $70 dollars for the 4 pieces.

would be great to see interior ones pics.
Shame is SE, would like to see also quarter outer one :(

i finally placed the interior upper door panels with window felts - it took a afternoon but finally got them on - i used the staple holes to place the little screws into them - had to place at least 9 screws into each panel - had to drill holes into the window felts - had to be careful drilling felts - hopefully by early spring i can start to put my interior back together.
