<VV> Side window fuzzies/wipes

[BEllison@bbafiberweb.com]

Several months ago, I asked if anyone did this, and in fact, I got a
response, a name, and a quick email from Al Rich (thanks to Ken Hand, no
longer on this list).

Al has them installed on his EM Vert, but his vendor dried up.  He got
another contact, pretty soon, and I contacted them.  They have a website,
which lets you peruse their products.  I found the part # that Al gave me,
ordered 4-6' sticks @$20ea, if memory serves.  8' requiree special shipping
charges, and 6' will do one side of the car.

Al thinks they're a little long, as they rub the window just a little too
much, and he's worried about them wearing out pretty quickly.  I personally
don't mind this, if it keeps the water/debris out of the window.

I installed these on the outside of my window, and am very happy with them.
Used stainless steel panhead machine screws in the existing holes of the
door.  I don't remember the size.  Drill clearance holes in the material
first, of course.  I plan to do the inside window, also, but just haven't
made the time yet.  The windows need to be perfectly centered in the gap.

I believe the website is www.restorationspecialties.com, go to products, and
download their product list.  Seems like it was Y38, Y28, something like
that.  I can look it up, and give more details, install tips, if anyone
likes.
