NOS Drip RAil Deflectors

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=160522773501
Thought you might like to see these. I have owned 4 blazers. 2 when I was in high school. My friends and I were constantly pulling the tops off my blazers and putting then after the summer putting them back on. We did this for several years up through college. I never had any problems with either of the blazers leaking until the drip deflectors broke. They are much thinner and stiffer than the repos and actually fit in much tighter. The outside lip is much shorter than the repos. I bought a pair of the repos and it almost seemed to funnel the water in. I did a repair on the OEM and it worked and lasted for a while. The rubber on the OEM is not as thick as the repos. It eventually cracked and started to leak again. I was thinking about trying to cut some off of a set of repos to see if I could get a better fit

I was watching these but they got too high for me. Did you buy them?

Yes I paid more than I wanted but I am hoping these will take care of my leaking problems

Re: NOS Drip RAil Deflectors

They look pretty close to the the repops I got, but I still haven't installed them yet. Drilling holes in the windshield frame scares me.

Re: NOS Drip RAil Deflectors

those should be used to make accurate repo's. probably the only NOS set left in the world.
