Title: 1983-1986 Dew-wipe Replacement
Post by: Puchrider on August 17, 2016, 01:00:04 PM
Saw this thread on NATO and thought it would be worth sharing.  This is a great write-up on how to replace our dry-rotted dew-wipes, hope this helps those interested!

Those look just like mine. Cracked and hard. Don't even think about resting your arm on them.

I've been looking for the raw material to fab up some new ones. I also hope the P/N's are available.

I Googled the rock auto part number and there was 25+ listed at about $23 and up.

It appears the numbers are still good. I went to rockauto, did a part number search and they popped up.

Looks like I'll be ordering 2 sets. 😈
