I agree. I have blacked out the entire exterior on mine and wish I could do the interior. I might do it as you have done it in the future.

First I need to address a head.

It's not perfect, but holds up fairly well.

D, they attach through the holes in the door shell on the inner window. I attached them with no issue on my last build. Don't have to use the door panel to attach the inner belts.

Never sourced or experimented with other models. Seemed like money and time ahead to just spend an afternoon fiddling with painting the inner chrome ones and smoking some ribs or whatnot..

They have metal tabs and you run them through the holes in the doors. There are white plastic clips as well, but I just used the metal tabs made into the belt assy.

These holes..

I couldn't get them in all black in 2011, online or dealer.

Great thread,just a few numbers for those of us who still like the chrome. I ordered the outter felts #75710-90a02,75720-90a02,75730-90a01,75740-90a01, a bit $$ . Some how I had ordered the all black felts w/o chrome,(so many different numbers out there). I ordered the inner felts recently but looking at the felts w/o chrome it seems they might just work on the inside,I'll just have to test one as soon as I get to that point. Thanks for all the info....gil

Mine just arrived... Black outers and chrome inners..

Nice, mine should be here by next week some time. These will complete my complete door rehab on all four corners.

What's the secret on getting these clips out? Does the glass have to come out to access these clips and replace?

They have metal tabs and you run them through the holes in the doors. There are white plastic clips as well, but I just used the metal tabs made into the belt assy.

I replace mine when I just have a door shell, its easier, but the front glass will flex enough to get it done. The front ones are much easier than the back to install with the glass in. No real trick, just lining it up and get the holes and the tab/clip in the right positions.

I had a guy at a body shop show me how to do it for $20..

On the rear doors, the smaller windows that are fixed... Do I need to remove the middle brace to get these out? Best I can tell the window track holds them in place, is this right?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Middle brace needs to be removed to pull the fixed window. It has 1 or 2 screws in the top of the window frame. I didn't pull mine to install the felts FYI.
