For sale to suckers: vert 1/4 window outer sweeps

[White93z34]

I gave up looking for these soon after we got our car a few years ago. Its a 91. Can anyone clarify to me which stock GM rear 1/4 window trim/sweeps I can buy New to trim and fit my self? Memphis Man. Is that e-bay item something you bought for your car? It needed it? My car was garaged and used rarely but I have 60K miles on it. Have you passed 5K yet? I havent gone into that area of my car but pop riveting something doesnt sound ideal.
Thanks All for some help

I could be wrong but IIRC the factory ones are pop riveted in in the first place.

The factory ones are pop riveted in place. You need to drill them out to remove and replace.

You're all confused, he's working in Derpollars. Crazy exchange rate.

Fixed.

I bought a set of F body sweeps at GMpartsdirect.com. Mine are still in great shape, but know they will not last forever.

Glad to see Memphisman is driving and enjoying his. I bought mine 2 years ago with 41k on it and brought it from kentucky to Canada and it was in fabulous shape...super clean underneath. I decided to drive it and enjoy it for 3 seasons per year. I treat it like it's any other car with that kind of mileage and do all the maintanence anyone would do with a low mileage car they plan to drive regularly. I did the alternator, timing belt and AC compressor and put on a new top. It has 58k miles on it and I drive it everywhere. It gets lots of attention and still looks mint. These cars will never big "big-buck" as they age, so why not enjoy every mile as MemphisMan says. Mine will be making the trip from Canada to Florida in a month and now I can enjoy it 4 seasons per year. I say drive them and enjoy them !

I just replaced mine this past weekend with a pair that I got off eBay for $10. I was surprised no one else bid on them. They are not original but were cut to fit. They are a little taller than the original but look just as good to me. I went slow drilling out the rivets as it made me nervous and actually hit the glass one time but it did not do any damage, lucky I guess. Odd thing about the purchase, I won them about 1 hour before my engine decided to come apart. The trickiest part to me was taking off the trim pieces and removing all the "goo" and tape without causing damage. Here's a link to the add in case someone wants to contact him to see if he has or will have more.

Wow for 10 dollars that is a deal! Those were originally from a F-body car.

Drilling out the rivets is the hardest part to replace these. After that it's pretty easy. I take some Vaseline and wipe it on those sweeps. Helps it prevent from cracking in the future.

hi guys,
my 94 is in need of new seals as well. I was reading on here and went to the parts department at the dealership were i work to check on prices. My cost is $55.00 for the door seals on what he told me fit 95-02 Camero. My question is can you get both sides out of one Camero moulding or do you have to buy two.

[oldsfever]

I'm not familiar enough with that to give you an answer but I have read of people using those. Just not sure what you need to buy.

[GOT2B GM]

One is not long enough, you need to get both sides from the f-body

Does anyone know if you could just use some small screws and nuts to hold on your new sweeps? Because if you are constantly changing them, I would rather not keep drilling my rivets out and re-riviting the new ones on.

[White93z34]

Why would you need to be constantly changing them? Is it not a replace it and its done kind of deal?

[1994RedVert]

After reading all the posts on here I get from everyone that they will need replacing again. If I replace them they should be good for a while?

Should hold up for years...
