Window rub strip / fuzzy hack

[conkitchen]

Although some don't particularly care for my brand of social media content and flow, I do at times pay it forward.  

 

SO there is that. 

 

If you are rebuilding your door cards and have found the original INNER window rub strip has gone the way of dust. Here is a quick fix. The cost of a single new strip is over $50. 

 

My repair costs about $10 for both windows. 

 

See pictures. 

 

I used the soft side of black self-adhesive Velcro and glued it to the original metal substrate. I removed all the old  fuzzy material leaving the rubber backing attached. Apply contact cement and affix. 

 

Works and looks great. 

 

But what do I know.

That is a great idea.  My door panels are chopped to bits by the P.O.  I think I will put this on my list. 

 

Thanks for sharing

Cool solve, cheap and looks pretty good. $100 for felt is robbery.

Well you do get some metal to go with that felt.

I think that's a great fix.  I fart in the general direction of anyone who disagrees...
