Re: Windshield Wiper Wire Routing

I installed a wiper wire from Bratton's in my May 29 Tudor a few years ago using what sounds like the same route you used and it was plenty long enough. I'd suggest you measure it and call Bratton's...

Re: Tudor Rubber front floor mat

X2 on the mats from Bratton's. The molded marks for locating the fasteners, seat pivots and trimming may be a bit difficult to see until you held a light correctly to make them visible. Tim

You may want to try using Jeweler's rouge and a buffer with very light pressure to see if that does the trick before using anything more aggressive. Tim
