Windowfelts on a 70 Cutlass S?!

Hi everybody,


I need your help!!!!

I want to replace my windowfelts on my Cutlass....

On my 71 Supreme i had outer felts that have a chrome trim with a width of about 20mm ....

I ve ordered from PARTSPLACEINC felts but they have a small 4mm chrome trim...

Also ive seen the "special moldings" one for the Cutlass S
Can someone please tell me whats the meaning of..????

I checked many sites with felts...

But i dont know which one to buy...

There are Reproduction felts with a flat chrom bead
OEM Felts with round chrom bead
Both of these you can order with the "special molding"....

I will attach some picture from the felts on my 71 Supreme....
I need these ones just for The S Model
My VIN IS : 336870M.....

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!

I suspect you're trying to describe B85 Belt moldings. They were available for both Cutlass fastback and notchback. Although more common on notchbacks. The molding is not part of the window sweeps; it is a seperate piece. You need to detach it from the old moldings and re-attach it to the new ones. I have these for my 72 Cutlass S; they are made from stainless steel so you can clean them up and polish them to new condition.

The window felts being reproduced should fit your car ok. All of them should have the rolled "bead" on the outside felts. I haven't seen the ones from PP, but the ones from Fusicks are correct. Older repros didn't come with the rounded bead, they had a flat one that could easily be seen as a repro. The new ones look stock.

Hope this is the information you're looking for.
