Well, I havent been able to find a set of outer 1/4 window felts for my 69 Chevelle.
so it looks like I'll have to go after market who makes the best ones?

Hi Donnie,

Maybe better to post with the catch phrase "69 Chevelle window felts" in the heading to get the usual suspects interested.

Sorry I haven't an answer.

Ryan, I cant edit the title I'll have to live with it.

Dan, are you saying Hinshaws makes the best ones?

I purchased a set from Hinshaws at the very last CB. They are very nice for repop.

The brand Repops makes a very nice set of outer window felts. I have found that the doors are dead on, the right qtr felt is a good fit, just needing minimal trim and finally the left qtr felt is not a good fit. The left qtr felt does not conform to the curve of the qtr panel. I have seen this numerous times. I used a set of the repops for my 69 300 deluxe hard top project, I tried bending the left qtr fuzzy, but could not do it. You'd need some sort of stretching tool to bend the inner metal core. I ended up using the original which was in decent shape and fit perfectly.

You can still find NOS door outers, but qtr outers have been difficult to find for years.

&quot;Repops&quot; are in my opinion the best non OEM available.
