My recently acquired 63 544 is in great shape with exception of the roll up window fuzzy tracks. I can't seem to locate a supply. Anyone made a purchase lately? If you have, can you direct me to the the supplier? Thanks

    I just completed the rebuild of the window frames on my 64 544, including new fuzzies,new vertical channels, new vent window rubber seals, and repairing the vent window latch mechanism. I ordered the parts from Vintage Import Parts in Canada. E-Mail address is vintage@telus.net
    Be advised that installing the new fuzzies is pretty difficult. I used #6X1/2 inch countersunk phillips head sheet metal screws for the parts that are attached with screws, and hand made square top stainless steel (.065 dia.)wires on the pieces held by metal wire. The window does not have to be removed from the door, but does have to be unhooked from the roll-up mechanism and lowered to access the screws on the lower part of the outside fuzzies. This step requires removal of the door panel. The new fuzzies have no holes in them for the screws or the wires, so you have to locate and drill the holes. This is the time to replace the vertical channels if they are significantly worn.
    I'll be happy to answer questions by phone or E-mail. JIM
    The finished job looks as new

      Jim,
      I ordered and received a complete set of fuzzies and channel replacements. You were correct in that is an all day job. I, like you, used the existing screws to replace the outer fussies but instead of wire for the inner, I drilled small holes and used very small stainless screws to hold them in place.
      They are almost countersunk and did not interfere with the window travel. I had to hold the fuzzy in place with clamps in order to drill the holes accurately. The channel replacements were easy once the window is released. I just used weatherstrip glue on the back side of each an slip them into place. The short one has a small screw at the bottom to keep it firmly in place. The kit I ordered came with two strips of fuzzy for the upper horizontal and rear vertical that I just clued into place.

      Jim, Thanks for the tips. The fuzzies in my 63 are pretty worn and the replacement process sounds time consuming but look forward to finalizing the interior refurb. Whale
