The felt and chrome all look great. The only reason I'm replacing the scrapers is beacuse the driver side outside is all the way down to the metal and when it gets rained on the door is getting water in it. :(



the outer scraper is attached to the chrome it comes as one piece. the felt usualy gets trashed when you go to pull it out. I agree with Chris when I replace the outer scrper I always replace the inner and felt at the same time. the inner scraper is only like 20 bucks and while you are there you might as well change it.


I agree , if your into the door it just make it right..

water is getting in? just drill holes in the bottom of the door. Problem solved. :hillbilly:

Thats what I do.....but then again, I'm afraid to try and take off my door panels and fix it right.

When it was on the lift at NTB I took a second to find my exhaust problem and took a few pics.

This is the rust/gravel chips that were driving me nuts.

James is a ton of help when it comes to body work. Thanks for showing me how to fix the chips!

With rock chips like those, pretty indicative of a back road runner!

Great Job! James
