Hi Donnie,

Maybe better to post with the catch phrase "69 Chevelle window felts" in the heading to get the usual suspects interested.

Sorry I haven't an answer.

Ryan

Ryan, I cant edit the title I'll have to live with it.

I purchased a set from Hinshaws at the very last CB. They are very nice for repop.

The brand Repops makes a very nice set of outer window felts. I have found that the doors are dead on, the right qtr felt is a good fit, just needing minimal trim and finally the left qtr felt is not a good fit. The left qtr felt does not conform to the curve of the qtr panel. I have seen this numerous times. I used a set of the repops for my 69 300 deluxe hard top project, I tried bending the left qtr fuzzy, but could not do it. You'd need some sort of stretching tool to bend the inner metal core. I ended up using the original which was in decent shape and fit perfectly.

You can still find NOS door outers, but qtr outers have been difficult to find for years.

&quot;Repops&quot; are in my opinion the best non OEM available.
