The driver side window scraper on my '87 was rock solid and missing quite a few chunks, so I decided to treat myself and lower the highway decibels by hopefully a few dozen from that wind noise.
Ordered the "Fairchild" kit off rockauto, about $50 shipped for both sides inner and outer. They also had "Precision" brand for a bit more money.
When I went to install, the size is correct (I dont have vent windows), but the clips are wrong. The new part has fairly uniform clip spacing except for a longer gap toward the rear; my door has the 2nd two clips (near the mirror) closer together.
Only the front and rear clips seem to align, the 4 in between are very off.
Anyone deal with this before?
-edit-
I'm an idiot. It helps if you install them facing the right way forward. I'll make the excuse that my old ones were so deteriorated, I didnt have a reference. And also there's apparently an extra unused clip hole by the mirrors for me
