That would be the quarter glass seal. Most vendors will be selling the Metro VS 7-F which is used for the 71-74 B-Bodies excluding the Charger SE applications. I know that we sell them for $32.00, which should be line with most of the other vendors. Make sure that you specify the flocked variety. You will find some lesser quality pieces on the market which is not flocked.
Hi Richard I never heard the term "flocked" before with parts.. I have a set here for my 71 Plymouth and wanted to know what that means as when I looked it up Urban dictionary gave me something CRAZY!! Thanks!
Flocking is quite prevalent on items like quarter glass and window felt extrusions. Starting in 1963, most of the Chrysler products used some form of the process. Flocking is a process of applying fine fibers to an adhesive coated piece of extrusion through a electro-statically charged medium. The end product is that the finished product is covered with thousands of small fibers that will in affect reduce friction and diffuse noise and moisture.
If the window felts or quarter glass seals are just a rubber sweeper, it acts as a squegge rubbing against the glass. The flocking allows the glass to move without being under added pressure as the small fibers will move as necessary and still seal as planned. Hopes that this helps.
