window fuzzies

My bad ... the '68 -'72 Chevelle's back glass interchange w/ the '69-'70 Pontiac GP's ... I knew I had seen a list somewhere before.

Here is an on-line A-body (Chevelle's are the main vehicle reference point) interchange resource ... it is a little rough. It is no substitute for a Hollander Interchange manual, though, if you have one.

My fuzzies from Steele, were drop shipped from PUI. I will post the part # from the box they came in later.
In my experience, if you have to bend them to fit, they prob will buckle like mine did unless i got the wrong year sent to me. Gord

 

I just installed mine last w/e from PUI....a couple taps with a rubber hammer and they fit perfect.

 

post some pics! where did the taps with the rubber hammer have to be done at?

I had to drill new holes as my PUI fuzzies sat to high using the original body holes and not sealing against the body at all?
Here is the Part # of the PUI fuzzies and a pic of the box of a really inexpensive, mmmm....(cheap) set which are do not even look like window fuzzies (not sure how i ended up with them or even where they came from?)
JW is sending me another set so will report soon, Gord

 

The set that I got from Poston years ago I also had to drill new holes. Can you imagine if you had to do a hack job to install every aftermarket piece that there is out there? I'd find another hobby if that were the case.

 

in the first picture where your says "ow flt grand spt 70-2 cpe"

on my box is says "ow flt skylark 70-2 cpe"


they shouldnt be different from skylark- gran sport correct?

also, nowhere on my box does it have that generic logo "fuzzies"

The photo with the word "fuzzes" was from anouther supplier...not PUI, sorry for the confusion and yes i would assume skylark and grand sport should be the same. Possibly the wrong fuzzies got put in the right box? Anyways this has been very rewarding and very frustrating and it ain't over yet....Gord

 

ok i got my new (3rd) and this time final set of fuzzies from JW today & they fit perfect with no wrinkles in the bend and seal tight to the glass, with a nice seal to the body, looks like the original holes work as well, here are some pics, see for yourself.

After I removed the PUI fuzzies that i had installed I did bend them a bit to try take out the wrinkle in the bend and it did not help at all. As you can see, they have a permanent wrinkle in the bend and was probably not my doing in tweeking them to fit? So thanks JW for setting me straight and to everyone else that offered advice, :TU:
Its all good now....Gord

 

What ever you do don't send your old ones to Glen at CARS. You'l never see them again!!!! Or the correct part.

 

No problem. Glad to help Gord.

Folks, notice the cuts on the back of the Re-pops ones.. they don't come this way, I take a cutoff tool and make those very carefully. This allows for the perfect bend to be made for an individual car. They are very close out of the box, and have the correct quarter panel contour, but typically have to be tweeked by hand just a little as you install, so they fit tight in the quarter/roof panel corner.

No hammer required.

Jim, they fit perfect, i was doing the happy dance (its a Canadian thing) and now i know why....
I hope you didn't mind me posting the pics, but i was so happy how they fit I had to share it with the world....

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I went to repops web site and they do not list items individually and it appears they only sell to distributors so my question is where can I purchase the repop window fuzzies or which distributor specifically carries the ones for the buick skylark (1970). I'm looking for the same one and quality that Jim uses on his restoration cars.

Gord, do you do that happy dance in July when the last of the snow melts?ou: I know I am not looking forward to another winter behind the snow blower. Gets worse every year. I bet up there as well.

 

Here is a question for JW and Gord. Did either one of the brands come with any kind of slits like JW made or did JW just make them bigger? Reason I ask is I just had to dig out the set I bought from Year One over 10 Years ago before they became more intereseted in selling race parts and overcharging for shipping. I took the pieces out of the package for the first time and they have the slits like JW made. There are 8 slits I believe. No idea who made these fuzzies but maybe they were better a few years back?
