Help! I have 4, FOUR different brands of Sprite side curtains.
Weathershields (OEM) 1 pair but no seals
Bakers (better than OEM) 1 pair but no mounts
And brand X - 1 left w/seals
and Brand Y - 1 left no seals

So who has the correct, doesn't have to be trimmed weathershields rubber
gaskets?
Or does anybody have the mounting brackets for a pair of Bakers curtains?
And the catalog too thick stuff fits nice in my brand X and brand Y
curtains but I only have one of each and each is for the same side of
the car.
The weathershields take a 1.5" "T" type stripping that looks just like
the storm door bottom seals but about an inch taller.
The "T" on rubbers has to be no wider than 3/16" to fit. 1/8 will work too.
I tried garage door weatherstripping, the "T" is 1/4" but the flange is
2" which I could trim IF I could get it in the slot.
I tried shaving 1/16 off each edge but that got to be just about
impossible after about 8 inches.
As of now I have 6 useless side curtains and 2 Bugeyes in the family
with no side curtains.
My own Bugeye has Bakers and I have installed tempered GLASS in them, no
more plexi smiling smiley
My kids can do what they want with their sidecurtains once I make up a
usable pair for each of them.
