I'm looking to get some feedback from those that used the 4-piece bug catcher w/s kit that Robert Furman had made. How has it held up? Would you do it again? How have the bonded corners held up?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes i would use it again. I have some scraps left and the rubber still is good after 12/13 years.
I originally got some for my 64 SWB truck, i put it in without glueing them and it worked great.
I sold that truck years ago so haven't seen how its held up, but i had enough left over to do one of the windows on my LBP and that is still holding up. I didn't glue that one either, i think next chance i would try to glue it.

Same here, no glue, and has held up great, would easily use them again.

Kurt-
I'm happy with the results of Robert's stuff. I'm in the same boat as the others. I overlapped the corners a little and did not glue anything. I don't open them but they will open and don't leak. You could spend a little more time and angle cut them and glue them to make them look better if you like. I too have enough left over to do another set. I'm holding into these in case I ever paint my rig but that's probably never.
The rubber is still soft and in great shape. I'd buy again in a second if I needed to.

Is kit still available ?

No, that batch of w/s was for sale around 10, 15 years ago.
I bought two sets when they were available. Still in the package somewhere.
I'd like to purchase a set if theres one out there . Thanks Brian

Not this minute. Pricing in hand for a production run
Kurt, CTCV1984 is still very interested in buying two sets of 16" and one set of 17". Hope springs eternal.
