window felt

Can someone tell me the difference between the 73-80 and the 81-87 window felts? Does it have to do something with the glass thickness? I have a new set but I'm not sure which ones I have. Is there a way to tell which ones I have?

Thanks

Mike

Re: window felt

The 73-80 window felt channels are two piece and the 81-87 are a one piece design..hope this helps..I do not know if they are interchangeable at all.

Re: window felt

I'm talking about the pieces at the top of the door panel. LMC calls them window seals. I already noticed that I have the wrong channel pieces. I bought a bunch of parts on cl and I'm trying to determine what I have so I don't have to spend money needlessly. thanks for any help

Gotcha..I took a peek at my LMC and brothers catalog and they both say the inside and outside window seals are the same part for 73 to 87..I dont know if thats true or not..What makes ya think ya might have the wrong pieces?
