Just to put in my two cents here, I purchased a full set from Stu a few months back, and they're still high quality pieces. I haven't found the time to install them yet, but I will get around to it. Thanks Stu for refusing to compromise on quality!
Great review. I am in dire need of new wipes on my 87 SE and I was going to get some from TFS. Hardpact recommended DIYS stating that some people say his is better and that was what he used and liked them. I see that "some people say his is better" was an understatement! Nice to see some high quality, Made in USA parts for once! I know what I will be getting when the time comes after this engine swap.
Think you'll have some in stock, or be able to make some, a couple months from now? In desperate need, my stock sets are turning to stone and dust lol. My drivers door window is scratched to hell from rolling it down ONCE...
It's nice to see that 2.5 years later, my review is still helping people out. For those that have not purchased Stu's dew wipes, you are truly missing out on a very high quality product. The factory dew wipes are still going strong over 20 years later on some people's vehicles. With the advances in technology in regards to the composition of todays rubber material, Stu's should last just as long or even longer than the originals. I'm glad to finally see a product that is in such high demand. If you haven't had a chance to buy a set for your car, do yourself a favor and get a pair. You will not be sorry.
Guess what I (we... Stu and I... mostly Stu... some I...) just installed on my '84 tonight?...
Inners and Outers from the man himself.
I made some joking cutdown about something... and then he threatened to take his wipes off and give me his TFS set that he uses for demo purposes and side by side comparisons...
Has anyone heard how Stu is doing lately and any word on if or when he will be back in production? I believe he had an assistant helping him out at one time, did that work out, or is there someone locally that can help him carry on production while he is busy with important family matters? I'm sure there is a big backlog of orders waiting in the wings for Stu to work his magic.
Bump. In the market for these. I know this thread is old, but is STU still making these? If now, what's the best alternative? Has TFS improved their quality?
I don't know how this thread is not archived..... I think Stu is not making them any more, but forum member Seajai might be, PM him for more info.
No kidding about the archive. I forgot that I even created this thread.
You are correct that Sejai is now making these over in the Mall. As far as the Fiero Store, they will usually improve their products if there are complaints but I have no idea what their dew wipe quality is today.
You can't have a better review of a product than that. Wow!!! What a great job I have a set of DIY STU WIPES. THE ARE EXCELLENT QUAILITY!!!! Defiantly a product to recommend to anyone!!!!! Brian
