Refurbishing dew wipes Reply #18 – September 10, 2007, 09:36:36 AM QuoteEric, are you atlking about the ranger dew wipes that we can modify or actual T-bird dew wipes?? I haven't seen anything but the ranger ones. No, the ones mentioned in that article are universal but are correct for the 1983-86 Cougar/T-Bird. At JC Whitney (http://www.jcwhitney.com) is it p/n WG819745T.QuoteCan you elaborate? (especially since I have an '87)The dew wipes on 1987-88 cars were molded into the window trim, presumably to cut costs but also because of the flush glass. The 1983-86 cars (and all Mark VII's) are two piece, where the dew wipe can be separated from the trim and be replaced. I have never found a good solution for 1987-88 cars, other than swapping trim from a car with better dew wipes. Quote Selected

Refurbishing dew wipes Reply #24 – September 11, 2007, 03:35:47 AM Oddly enough the ones that came off the '83 bird vent window doors seem nearly perfect, However this:concerns me.It looks like some kind of tensioner or something, Kind of a felty material? is this really needed? It was a bit rusty on the posted guide as well... And i didnt see him put them back on or replace them. Quote Selected

That was the only trick parts of the whole thing. I tried to reuse them but it didn't work out to well. Brian Quote Selected
