SILVER Star
So there’s not a lot of threads on this. Bought new outer felts from Toyota. Just painted this truck so wanted to see if I could get the new felts to reattach to the chrome base. When I painted my personal 60 several years ago (blue truck in the pics) I could not figure out how to make it work. So this time around I spent a little more time dissecting things and realized I could remove the new clips and reattach the old ones. Seems to have worked so far. Had to pinch the old clips with needle nose pliers to ensure they would grip/pinch the rubber to the chrome base. The new ones are manufactured a bit different with a grove to accommodate the new clip. No turning back as I installed the window frame chrome and pretty certain it will take off some new paint if I remove it again. The metal clip is from the original felt. And another interesting fact…not all chrome bases are the same for all year 60’s. I have a pile of them and when I looked some had slotted holes for clips and the ones on this copper 85 model have no holes.
