1972 Rear Window Fuzzies

I purchased rear window fuzzies from Fusick for my 1972 cutlass S 442 hard top coupe and they are too long. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do. I sent them back for another set and the next set were also too long. Thanks for any info you can provide.

They are made by PUI and they are made in incorrectly. I've read you have to make relief cuts in them to make them fit. Somebody on this board said he bought some from http://www.restorationspecialties.com/index.html and they fit better than the PUI junk. I was going to e mail them to see who made theirs but haven't gotten around to it.

I had to do that with the REPOPS brand outer rear felts to make them fit. Total PITA...

I had the same issue on my '71, I sent my original to Fusicks and got back a pair that fit perfect.

I called Restoration Specialties today and they said they make their own. They did not have mine and requested I send originals to them and they will make me a set. That is what I'm planning to doing.

No they did not say how long it would take and Ive spoke to others who suggested I use my originals and after looking at them I've decided to use them.
