Dew Wipe Replacement (Page 5/10)

I got that tool from Rodney Dickman what a waste of money, this can be done without that tool with no issues.
Thanks for posting this info too bad I did not see it before I did mine.

I did it with this method and let me say it's VERY easy to do. I had no trouble whatsoever.
Course i forgot to replace the window guides so i had to take it apart again...
Hardest part was making the drivers side into a passengers side dew wipe.

For some reason, my window wouldn't go high enough, and I didn't have Rodney's tool. So I cut a Phillips bit short with my side cutter, gripped it hard in a pair of small vice grips, and used that. I loosened the inside felt pads to give me more room, and found that you have more room with the window up than down. Also, with the window up, there's no worry about scratching it, because you can't see the part you might scratch. Worked out ok. Now I need to turn a driver side dew wipe into a passenger side so I can do the other side, like here.

Great write up!

I have 2 questions.

1. Where can I purchase new dew wipes?

2. How would I go about "poloishing" the scratches out of the door glass?

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention the vapor barrier. As you can see, I took mine completely out and am going to replace it with dynamat as I think that gives the door a more solid sound when it closes. The Finale door panels have a much larger air volume and sound pretty "cheap" due to the resonance when you shut the doors because of that unless you use the dynamat.

It's been a while since this post. Any pics of the dynomat installed? Just wondered how it was applied behind a door panel.

Nice write up. I will be using this soon.

I keep checking back but it says he all sold out.

Wow, this thread isn't in the archives???

I never took any pictures of the dynamat installed and I've since sold the roadster, so no pictures will probably ever be taken. Just take your time and it will go on, although I did make custom door panels for that car, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the stock ones.
