Amen brotha! At the time I filmed this, I didn't have time to send them back and get new units as I needed the video to go up. But then I was able to get a different project put together and I wanted to put that video up. I actually filmed this back in May, but I had other videos I wanted to release so I kept pushing it back and back. Now we're in September and I figured I just need to get it out there. Knowing what I know now, I could have sent it back and got new pieces. Oh well. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel I hear you! I'm scrambling to get my side stripes installed and on video. The first package I received were missing a section of stripes on both sides.. We will see if it gets completed for Sunday..
Great videos Andy. I have a late '66 GT convertible I am modifying and have watched most of your videos, which have great insights for a fellow "shade tree" mechanic. What is the grease used for the window bumpers?
Hi Andy, big fan (from The Netherlands) of your channel. Keep it up, you’re doing great. Question: I have a 1966 Fastback too, and I think these rubber stops are missing on my car. There’s just the little metal frame/support on which I think the stops should fit? Nevertheless, even without stops, I can’t lower my window enough to clear the window felt. It will stay flat with the weather felt trims, when rolled down fully. Do you have an idea?
There is a stop that could be set high enough to keep you from rolling the window down that far. You have to remove the door card to get to it. Or, it could be something wrong with the window mechanism and that’s why it won’t roll down? 🙂
@@AndyKruseChannel Thanks for your quick reply. I did remove the door card and did look inside the door for the stop, but there was no rubber stop. Just the metal bracket that should hold the rubber stop. Strange though that I can’t lower my window further than level with the window felt, even without the rubber stop installed?
I was wondering if there was a mechanical stop in the window linkage, something that you have to loosen a bolt to adjust it, not the rubber stop at the bottom of the door.
@@AndyKruseChannel Hi Andy, just to confirm you were right here. Removing the rubber stop on the bottom of the door didn’t lower my window enough (in fact there wasn’t even a rubber stop anymore inside my door). It was indeed a bolt that had to be loosened to adjust a mechanical stop.
It's annoying when packages get damaged. Glad to see you were able to make it work.

Great video Andy! Was doing a lot of work on my 66 door today and this was a lot of help 👍
Great to hear!
thanks man, your video was a great help, I really appreciated this.
Glad to hear it!

Some have said to use white lithium grease, but I have found that it dries out over time and defeats the purpose of greasing the tracks. :)
Andy my 66 has both stops, on the side and on the bottom
I was wondering if it should have been that way from the factory, good to know. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel I’m thinking the same now. Never heard of this possibility, but I’ll check it out.

Dude, there is a tool to remove those that will same a lot of work and keep people from messing up there paint/metal
Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
