good deal Justin best of luck with the yob

 

Hey Glenn , those brake pads you are looking at are for a V-6 I think and willn't fit a GT.

 

thanks I'll check it out puff puff pass

 

Well ain't that a load of crap. After waitin 3 weeks for my new tank the Company writes back and says they can't get it and refund my money. Summit has it for more and delivery will be 6-24. Oh well guess I just forget about that tank and move on.

 

My front windows look like poop. Maybe I'll get them re-done with the moleskin addition???


Sorry Darrell!!

 

Ok what is this moleskin stuff that you are talking about?? I never heard of it before.

 

it's like a window felt replacement, that doesnt scratch the tint on S197 model windows



sorry to hear about your loss nick, I know it's late.

 

So it is just for the S197s then??

 

The inboard weatherstrips on the 2005 and newer cars are made of a rubber that is too stiff for use with window tint unless something softer is added to it to prevent scratching. Ford didn't put any felt on the side of the weatherstrip that rides the glass, so the the stiff rubber tears up the tint.

My kit should be coming soon, hopefully it will arrive today or tomorrow, it's coming in the regular mail.

 

good luck with that back window Justin

 

 

Wow I didnt realize that. I guess I should have paid better attention to that. Thanks for the info.

 

I got my felt kit in the mail today, installation is done, overall not difficult if you know how to take the door panel loose to get the weatherstrip out.

 

I wanna say TacoBill has a write up on how to do it.

 

I have my kit but haven't read the instructions yet. I didn't know you had to remove the door panel. Sounds like a PITA!

 

most of the stuff I found online said they will fit gt and v6. We shall see in a few days

 

Looks like you are right and I was wrong. I thought I saw a thread were the calibers were different sizes and had GT stamped on the V8 one.

 

Mmmm, 85, sunny, rum n coke = pool time!!

 

It's actaully quite easy on these cars to take the panel loose. I didn't even need to pull it completely off, just took all the screws out and lifted it up a bit and pulled it back a little to get the weatherstrip out. There's a torx bolt behind the door handle after removing the cover, another torx bolt behind the small cover near the armrest, screws all around the outside of the panel, and one hiding behind the window switches. Grasp the switch panel assembly and pull, the whole thing will pop right loose. Alos pull the mirror switch cover loose, it just pops off.

I tried at first to just take a few screws out up higher on the door panel like the instructions say, but couldn't get the panel to move enough. Took all the screws and bolts out, then was able to move the panel enough to gain easy access to the weatherstrip.

 

Hello everyone, hope all is well!
