finally my window felts came from thailand

[javier302]

ordered em a few weeks ago, got here today, already installed. ohhh so nice to close the door and not hear that glass rattle lol can't wait to go for a little cruise, hopefully tomorrow night, and now I can also enjoy Pandora/iTunes from my phone with the phone jack mod to the stock radio.

Thanks

how did you do the phone jack mod to the stock stereo?  that sounds rad

[Phixius]

Did you get the lower felt/ squeegee  part also? or just the window jam weather stripping?

 

is this the radio mod ?

the jam one only for now, it's a budget build, so I'm going slowly around the whole thing over and over...

 

that's the mod phixius, worked great, I actually tapped into what look like a brown wire, not the red or blue.

Those things have never worked on any of my 521's. They make the window way to hard to roll up because they are not actually felt they are rubber with a little fuzz on them.

True, but other newer vehicles use this style.  I've put the thailand felts on my 521 and they are stiff at first but then "break in" after a few days...

[javier302]

definitely a little stiff but I have some graphite to help the process

[ggzilla]

Use silicone spray

Use silicone spray

Is that a good solution? One of my cars is stiff as hell.

Funny, I told my wife the same thing  :rofl:

I used this stuff in Ratsun .  It also works good.

Bar soap works also.. im using mazda window rubbers.

I found some real felt only stuff for a jaguar. One day I'll try it when I have the money. As of now I've bought from 2 different ebay sellers and just would rather use the cardboard method I'm used too.

 

If it works for you thats great. But I'm boutsta hit up the craft stores and find some real felt I can use.

Felt also cakes up with dirt and eventually gets rock hard, and holds moisture ending up with mildew/moss & rust in the channels...
