Top cat whiskers

[al383]

I bought these at Carlisle every time I buy them there different can somebody explain to me where this piece goes

That's your outer piece. Either for the door or the quarter window, I can't tell from the picture(if your car has a roll up rear window).

The outer should have clips that push in to the skins. The inners will have to be drilled and the staples folded over...I bought the same ones for mine (67) and am not looking forward to installing them!

'Screw' the staples! Small screws are so much easier, you won't see them after install anyways. Mine only needed them on the rear inners('68)

let's see a pic! Thought about doing that just didn't know how tight you could get the head.what size screw did you use?

I always tell people to use tiny flat head screws....The staples are time consuming to deal with...

Ehh...doesn't look like the pic's gonna do any good, the screw heads sink through the fuzz, into the rubber backing and disappear for the most part. Be careful not to drive the screw all the way through it! I only needed them on the solid fuzzy piece, the u-shaped fuzzy and the longer solid fuzzys all installed with the prongs. Once installed, the screws can't be seen down in there. .
#8 screws, 1/2" overall length. A little shorter or longer will work fine too. I simply drilled a small pilot hole through the fuzzy and the metal panel at the same time.

Mike- did you pull that piece down to put the screws in? Obviously if Im looking at the pix right. How did you resecure the fuzzy part? Had a upholstery shop do mone but unhappy. Now I have 2 panels to do over again

 

[Mike67]

So my car is a 67 I don't think there is much difference though. The only place that required screws were the rear quarter inserts.
The others just snap in they went in pretty easy.

Thanks. Have to look at mine to see. I tried to install them but they came out, then I was deployed so I didn't get to really look at them. Had to put the toys away...lol
