Window Sweeps ???

My door panels (front and rear) from Legendary are ready except for the window sweeps. Their vendor has them backordered and doesn't know when they will be getting any. Legendary is looking for an alternate vendor. They are shipping the panels to me and suggested that I get sweeps elsewhere.

Everybody sells them, looking for any suggestions on who to get sweeps from taking into acount fit, finish, cost, etc.

Thanks

DO get the OEM style as mentioned above.
I either got mine from the parts place or bap.
They were the "Repops" brand, original style (expensive ones). The front fit fine but the back outer ones required some modification to fit the window curvature. Details on that in the "interior makeover" thread...

I am only days away from doing my door panels. Maybe I will wait until you are done to see how yours went!

Thanks Rob. I figured they would be the "expensive ones".

As soon as my panels get here I'll post some progress pics.

I got my old panel stripped and the new one getting prepped. Do NOT start punching out the holes until you verify their positions on the old factory panels. Some are in the wrong places...
