The Ford Barn

Help! Enclosed are pics of what I have from vintiques to replace the fuzzies at the top of rear windows on my tudor. They are in no way like original and I am hoping someone may have a good solution as to how to install. The kit came with no directions. There is a bag of very small counter sunk screws with kit. is there a better source than vintiques for this? Ken

I could be wrong, but I think that Vintique is the only game in town. Most of the vendors including Drake sell the Vintique window stuff.

Thanks for the link. Steele used to be GM oriented, but it looks like they have a lot of Ford stuff.

forty-niner, Thankyou for your response, I went to web site and the kit they sell is what I have from vintique . I think TJ may be correct. I wish they would include some type of install directions. Must be some 33/34 barners out there that did this. The big issue is the rear windows and the large curved metal piece that fits in the top rear of the glass inside the opening. Its a two piece channel spot welded together with u shaped fuzzie clipped in place down the edge originally.You can see it in pic #1

As an alternative; couldn't you remove the existing material from the tin pieces, rivet in a section of straight track in the top as it appears it was originally done in your picture, then glue replacement fuzzy liner into the curved section folded over the outside and trimmed for a neat appearance.

I bought a roll of 2" wide fuzzy liner and used it for a similar project. The material comes in various widths and sizes, just search window channel liner on ebay.
