I bought that set for my 71and the rear quarter window felts were junk. Save your money and get a set from year one.

Heres what i have run into. I know that there are at least two places that make the window sweeps.the problem is i can't find the paper work for who makes the correct ones.We got a set from Legendary in 2009,and i think they make the ones for year one, but not sure.The first set we got did not follow the upward conture of the door, they came straight, and you were to bend them to fit i guess.Then we got a set from someone else,and they were just like the origionals.But the back ones for the the quarter window were just a little bit different,you may not notice it, but i can. Now i'm sorry but i don't know where we got those.I just wanted to let you know what is out there and do a little research or you will get a lot of heartburn like me. Also just for everybodys info,the sail panles that are on the market are completey wrong. The Plymouth B bodies did not have head liner material on the sail board. I had to get REM ( theirs are wrong too) to make me a set on a special order out of the package tray miterial.The original sail boards were multi layer card board with the same texture as the package tray.Just trying to keep somebody from pulling there hair out like i did, and which i am still doing.There are a lot of other stuff i could warn you about if you want.

Up date on window sweeps. I just talked to the man at Dixe Resto, and he said that they had the correct parts and after talking to him i think it's the same brand that i used. You can find them on the moparts website.Hope this helps.

It does help me. Talk about syncronicity, so many times I'm about to do something on my car and then, boom, there is a thread about it here.
