Thought I would pass this on. Have been looking for replacement window felt for my 1973 Gran Sport at a reasonable price. Came across the site El Camino restores swear by. They sell Window Felt for the 1973-1977 El Camino's. The El Camino, Chevelle, Cutlass, Century/Regal and Grand AM/LeMans all share the exact same upper door profile for 1973-1977. Its genuine GM replacement felts, still in the GM packaging. They look great, and fit like a glove on my 1973 GS. Perfect bends and length. If anyone has a need for this stuff, I would recommend these guys. Total price for a set of 4 felts (2 inner and 2 outer) was 145. They are on the web at www.elcaminostore.com Hope this helps.
My pleasure. Always happy to hear about another fellow 73-77 enthusiast. We appear to be a minority within a minority.
73 parts How about the outer chrome for the 1/4 windows? The triangular windows? They have them too? o No:
No they don't sell that stuff. Since they cater to El-Camino owners mostly, and the Elky's don't have any quarter windows, they don't have any of the "other" window stuff for our cars.
Hey, I just remembered looking at a company's website called www.thepartsplace.com. I think I saw the chrome trim you are referring to in the Cutlass/442 section.
73 parts Duh!!! Guess I wasnt thinking.I knew that Caminos didnt have them just got excited to finally find a place for 73 parts. Thanks,Pat :TU:
Question about the window felt. ? what part numbers did you buy? inner /outer ? How did you remove it . Did you have the glass out ? I see there is small screw holding the assembly in place on another GM car with the same similar door. thank ou in advance for the infor 77gmowner2door
Thanks for the info. I need the felts for two of my '77s. Now if I can find the seals for the Hurst Hatch T-Tops on one my '77s, that will help keep the water out of the car when it rains.
Is this the proper set? http://www.elcaminostore.com/el-camino-2-door-window-felt-set-4-piece-inner-outer-1973-1977.html
That may well be a proper set. Some of the relative sizes and curves look right. I think I will call them next week and find out. Thanks for the help.
Re: 73 parts Hey - The window trim is available through Fusick Oldsmobile...it's not in the catalogue, you have to call them.
