No Mo Moss for me.

I don't want to turn this in to a CW Moss/Vintique bashing but I just wanted to warn others that Snyder's, Bert's and other vendors sell Vintique parts that are not even close to being correct. Case in point Vintique's cowl light arms. The hole spacing is wrong for the original light buckets and they point out, like a wall-eyed frog. Terrible parts.

True Snyder's and others sell Vintique parts that don't work. I bought a pair of the window seal whatever they are that are aluminum with the rubber wiper made to fit under the garnish molding. No instructions included in the package because they don't fit. I'd sure like to know if or how the side windows sealed on a 28 or 29 Tudor.

Those window seals fit under the inside window frame.
I think Rusty Nelson posted some pictures of them recently, but I don't recall the name of the thread.

Vintique and CW Moss are the same company. CW Moss is the retail store for Vintique Inc. junk.
