dat521gatherer Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 ok i bought the ebay ones that look really nice but the windows are really hard to roll up. all 4 or 5 sellers sell the same exact stuff nomatter the pic they use. i bought from idcozy and gira7777. what have you bought, where and did they work. who carries the felt only style. the ones i bought on ebay are the rubber backed ones. i feel like i need to put my cardboard ones back in that i made. oh yeah i really dont do jcwhitney(crap shot) unless someone has numbers and pics of installed goods. thanks Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 When I restored my 521, I bough the kit from Datsunrestore.com (too intense restoration). I did have to cut fit them in the corners like the stock ones. The glass was a little stiff initially, but an old trick i used forever is to take a bar of ivory soap, shave one end down to a knife point and rub it all up in the channel and it really lubricated the felt without any chemichals and it lasts a long time......mine were as smooth as silk after that......... Good luck Bill Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 i'm running outside with the soap right now. thanks. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ask Bob...his 520 has all new stuff.....it's pretty darn sweet!:) I used Toyota FJ60 LandCruiser window channel....it fits perfect. Works great too...cause it all used :lol: But really...the JY will more than likely have one or more of these rigs....and the channel is super easy to pull out and put back into your Ratsun :D Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I just did this using the ones from thailand (ebay). They worked perfectly! Not too tight, not too loose. Although, after I put the wing windows back in I used a hammer handle to 'smack' the wing window forward, which made the window tracks line up better. Gotta say I am MORE than pleased with NO more window rattle. GENIOUS! Quote Link to comment
datsunz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I just got some from Thailand also, along with the taillights. Very fast shipping and he combined shipping for a great price, also got the front emblem from him. It all looks good. Quote Link to comment
datsunz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Just installed the new felt. worked perfect. Installed the lenses also. Got them from seller bangkokparts Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Good to know you guys are having luck with the stuff out of Tailand. I need new lenses for the front turns on my 521 but was leary about ordering from "over seas". Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I just got my front signals and they look GREAT. I will keep my old ones though just in case they dissintegrate within the year. :) Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 glad someones having luck with those cause they sure as hell dont work for me. they look damn pretty but the effort to roll the window up is stupid. i'm goin back to cardboard until i find the correct or similar to oem style.
