Dew wipes/ window sweeps- full of problems
The typical f-body is starting to see its share of issues, whether its deteriorating trim or whatever..
I've done enough searching on the subject and there are no definitive fixes, can't we band together and figure out a solution once and for all? No *reputable* manufacturer makes replacements from what I've seen, not to mention the actual fiberglass openings in the doors are broken on occasion which makes an even bigger nightmare.
I've read about someone drilling the door/ dew wipe and zip tying them together.
All I know is I want to do body work/ paint in the next month or so, and I don't want to deal with this **** afterwards. Today I ripped off the remaining felt on my p/s sweep cause it was scratching the window and replaced it with industrial strength velcro- its a good fix, seems like it will hold up fine. I readjusted the clips (1 broke completely.. 1 broke halfway, all except one are rusted up). I got it to sit nicely except for at the end of the door, my d/s however is fubared.
Who else has dealt with this and what are your solutions?

Are the above good products? I know the 1aauto (or whatever it is) are garbage.
Also has anyone figured out a solution to the actual tabs being broken in the door where the metal clips mount to?

most of the time ppl just don't know how to install
things correctly.
both of those places will stand behind what they sell.
