Window Scrappers

[Frank]

We have been in desperate need of these things. Since no vendor has stepped up on this (at least from what I can tell), I am assembling an interest thread. I contacted Steele Rubber and am going to see what we can come up with.

I need your help. I need you to vote in this thread on what models you would need and how many. I also need pictures of good or bad window scrappers as to determine variations within the years and body types.

I can't make this possible without your help... all of your help.

Thanks!
Frank

Thanks for the contact back. I am going to get you that information. I need to assemble some of that information including pictures, etc. Here is a list of vehicles that our members have.

1978 - 1990 Dodge Omni, Plymouth Horizon, Shelby GLH, and Shelby GLHS
1979 - 1987 Dodge Charger, Plymouth Turismo, Shelby GLHS
1982 - 1984 Dodge Rampage, Plymouth Scamp
1985 - 1989 Chrysler LeBaron GTS, Dodge Lancer, and Shelby Lancer
1987 - 1994 Dodge Shadow, Plymouth Sundance, Shelby CSX, and Shelby CSX-T
1987 - 1995 Chrysler LeBaron
1989 - 1995 Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Spirit, Plymouth Acclaim
1988 - 1993 Chrysler New Yorker, Dodge Dynasty
1984 - 1988 Chrysler New Yorker Turbo, Dodge 600, Plymouth Caravelle
1984 - 1993 Chrysler Laser, Dodge Daytona
1980 - 1988 Chrysler LeBaron/Town & Country, Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant

There are variations within those years with the typical changes occuring in 1987-1988 and 1991-1992. The people mostly likely to purchase these scrappers will be those who own the Shelby models list above and/or the newer model cars. The 7 cars manufactured/modified by Carrol Shelby are the...

* 1986 Shelby GLHS - 500 made
* 1987 Shelby Charger GLHS - 1000 made
* 1987 Shelby CSX - 750 made
* 1987 Shelby Lancer (780 made)
* 1988 Shelby CSX-T
* 1989 Shelby CSX-VNT
* 1989 Shelby Dakota (not listed above, but one car to consider)

I hope to solve a lot of the questions about numbers of people interested, etc, and may be able to get something too you next week.

Thanks!
Frank

I voted 3+ Black '87 P-body 2-door

For reference the late ('90 or '91+) P-body are different than the earlier ones.

Frank.... 1991+ window scrapers are in little demand compared to the 1990 and older. Besides, the 1991+ window scrapers always seemed to hold up to the test of time MUCH better than the earlier variations.

With that said.... 1990 and older is what you should focus on as far as P-body.

I bought a set for my CSX back in '98, so the rubber part is OK. If it is possible to reproduce the rubber part, it would not be terribly difficult to replace. IIRC, it is friction-fit over the top of the steel part and held in place with staples.

My Daytona needs them more than the CSX does.

I agree. I don't need to pay for the metal part. Just reproduce the rubber part.

frank you FORGOT the 89-91ish mini van i would take 2 sets you cant find them anywhere

There are a buch of vans here at the pull a part, I'll look and see if they are in good shape. If so I'll grab them for ya if you're interested.

4dr P body.

I havnt tried it but I believe the earlier wide style sweeps could be used on a 91+ car as the door stamping didnt change. Just something to consider when making your case to the company on why they should tool up and do this. More model years = more coverage = greater chance of it happening.

[CNH320]

Desperately need 89 CSX Black.

[OMNI-Potent]

Hey Frank,

Whereas I normally don't post up what we are doing at OMNI-Potent until we actually bring products out - I'll make an exception.

We offer the window scrapers for the 4 door L bodies and have been working on all other cars for over 2 years now.

I certainly understand your frustration. It's very frustrating on our end that we have not been able to offer all the cars yet, but we do not give up.

Thanks!

As awesome as it is that you offer the kits, I just can't afford 440$ for that. I can buy another Omni for 440$. I'm not bashing you; it really is amazing that these are even available at all. I'm just saying I would have to have a really nice car to spend that much money.

thats for the whole kit. if you just buy the outer window scrappers they are
185.00, thats less than 47.00 per door. Now that is cheaper than buying one side for a 2 door L-body. I just picked up a spare driver side outer window scrapper for my Scamp GT and with my discount it still cost my almost 70.00 including tax for one side.

Will the L-body stuff be available from Omni-Potent at the Buckeye Chapter Swap Meet?

[raccoon]

dodge shadow!

[contraption22]

While I am interested in the scrapers, there are plenty of other foam/rubber products that we need as well.

Has anybody looked to see which of these are still available from Mopar?

Arizona parts ?

[supercrackerbox]

I've got new ones for the Charger and for the GLHS, the ones on my Daytona are mint, and I've got backups for that too, so I'm set.

I'm not going to vote since I'm not actually in the market for anything, but I will chime in and say that the CSX crowd are probably the most desperately in need.

there are plenty of other foam/rubber products that we need as well.

Definately true. While I'm set for the window scrapers on my Chargers, the outer door and window seals are umm, lacking. I washed my Charger saturday morning, and it was pretty chilly so my girlfriend sat in the car. She got a little wet.
