Windows felt set for 1971?

[71MonteCarloMD]

I saw it’s available set of 8 for shovelles, wondering if there’s set for our Montes?

And am trying to figure what this screw is for as it’s rusted out on top corner of drivers door?  Circled in red

Hi. Yes they sell the window felt kits for Monte Carlos. You can get just the outers, on the body or a complete set of inner and outers. There are 2 styles. One for the wide belt mouldings like on a custom and the "regular" style. Also have a choice of flat or rounded style for the "regular" style. 

The screw you refer to is for the door weatherstrip.

Just remember if you have beltline molding you need to order the felts for with special molding

There is a little metal tab that is part of the weather strip that the screw goes into.

I think I bought a complete set from Luttys.

Thanks all as I’m not sure what I have so am attaching pictures, can you tell me what I have?

[MC1of80]

Lol looks like both the flat on the door panel and round for the door/outside. I feel it's more of a personal preference unless you are going parts correct show car.

Hmm, if I order set of 8, will I be able to install that on door panels as I don’t see how it’s attached?

Hey Rick, I haven't gotten that far yet but I have a complete set I purchased from Luttys  The insides are held on by staples, the outsides are screwed in. In the package was directions they say before you take off the interior panel loosen the staples up with a screw driver because they are held in place and your not chasing them all over. then take off the panels and use a cutting plyiers to completely remove them. Then install the new ones.

Willie, thanks and I might get new panels later on, does new panels come with new felts?

[Leghome]

The ones I got from Legendary did

Thanks Larry!

does that means I should be able to get outside felts set only?  Who sells that?

[MC1of80]

Yes, you can get the outsides only. OPGI, The Parts Place, Koniks, etc. Just Google search  71 Monte Carlo window felts and choose.

I bought My outside from The Parts Place Inc. I bought some of the custom moldings from Cory(from MI) I can not remember his screen name and had Murphy refurbish them. The felts I got from them were good except I had to modify them for the custom moldings. Cory got some that were correct

[71MonteCarloMD]

Thanks Thomas and Larry, will check with The Parts Place.  What are the difference with custom moldings?

The Custom Moldings do not have that chrome strip running along the length of the outside felts.  That strip of chrome would get in the way of the Belt Moldings that are standard on the 72 Customs so they are made without that chrome strip.  That's the only difference..................

Thanks Doug for explaining as I see that I have regular ones.
