What are the rubber strips that come with the convertible top weatherstrip kit for? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the answer. I don’t remember seeing these on my original top when I took it apart. They’re on the top left of the picture on CJ’s site in the link below. I also got the correct padded pads that came with two small extra pieces as well. From what I have found those go from the rear bow to the tack strip by the quarters. I don’t remember these on my original top either. My old top did have the correct padded pads too as it was a factory top. https://www.cjponyparts.com/convertible-top-weatherstrip-kit-1969-1970/p/WSCT2/ https://www.cjponyparts.com/convertible-top-pad-convertible-top-pad-1969-1970/p/CTP4/

You could always repair the damaged foam yourself and have an upholstery shop leather wrap it. I’ve seen them done and they look great. Still more expensive than replacing it with a dash direct pad though.

I replaced my wiper transmission with a new one from classic industries because the bushing were shot on my original. It fits perfect but my original wiper arms will not go onto the studs. I tried the wiper arms on my original transmission and they are tight like they should be, but they go right on. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas to correct it before I have to buy another new one to try?

69 convertible rear bow rack strip installation
Kris replied to Kris's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
The strip itself is rubber and I have it. The strip itself was originally stapled to the metal bow it sits in to hold it in place. Then the convertible top is stapled to the rubber strip. -
What have you guys with convertibles done to attach a new tack strip to the rear convertible frame bow? My tack strip was basically dust so it had to be replaced. I know it was originally stapled. I have heavy duty staples and an air stapler. The staples either bend or brake and don’t penetrate the metal like the originals were. I’m considering drilling and using countersunk rivets but wanted to see what others have done first.

The switch you have is for a c4 and bolts on the side of the trans between the shifter bracket and trans. The fmx neutral safety switch has the shifter light built in while the c4 switch and light are two separate parts. On a c4 setup, the light wire goes through the shifter like the picture I added. The neutral safety switch wire goes down the tunnel and up the firewall to the plug at the center of the firewall by the gauge feed wires.

WTB- Couple/Convertible Quarter Pillar Windlace
Kris replied to GearHeadPeter's topic in Parts for Sale / Wanted
They reproduce this unless you’re looking for original only. -
Looks nice. I had my visor brackets and interior windshield headed powder coated black. To me with all the trim around the sides of the windshield being black it looked off having it be chrome at the top.

I put dynamite under my carpet in my convertible. I’ve been contemplating putting it in my doors. Where did you put yours in the door and how much did you use?

I installed my reproduction handles recently and had the exact same issue. From everything I saw online the part you are talking about that comes on reproduction handles won’t work for a 69-70. I had to take that part off of my original door handles and put them on the new ones. After they that they worked perfect. I believe it’s because the repro handles are sold as being for 65-66 & 69-70. My guess is the mechanism on the back is for a 65-66 which is why it won’t work for our cars even though the rest of the handle is the same.

I have quite a few sport mirror parts I’m not going to use. The gold mirror is complete and is for the driver side. It is a 71 as the number on the base is D1ZB-17743-B. It is a remote mirror but the adjustment knob is broken off. The back mirror has a tall base and is D00b-17743-AW it needs a mirror. The dark blue and yellow are 69 passenger mirrors and are both C9ZB-17477-AW. The light blue is a driver side and is D0DB-17A703-AW. If you’re interested in any of these hit me up with an offer. I can also media blast any of them for a small fee.

Anyone interested in an original standard interior map light? No rust and functions properly. Tested on my car to verify. Will take $150 plus shipping.

I installed the seal on the back of the window if that’s what you’re asking. I still need to install the weather stripping around the top of my convertible top.

I went with the suesz measurements.

Are you needing the vent panel or the small vertical piece that comes with it? I have the vertical piece I didn’t use with mine. I actually have the whole panel minus the recessed vent section. I cut it out and grafted it into my original.
