Title: 1965 Buick gran sport felt kits
Post by: Robin Cook on March 01, 2021, 09:01:03 AM

Can anyone “confirm” window felt kit part number and supplier for felt kits on my 1965 Buick skylark gran sport please. I want to ensure correct fit and bead.  Y car does not have moldings, I’ve never seen a gran sport that did. Anxious to order as I have a ride to canada from US in 3 weeks.
Appreciate any help as always.

'Cat whiskers' from Restoration Specialties has been mentioned.
I've used CARS products for my 66. They were made by PUI. First set was real nicely formed for a good fit, the second set, not so much.

I did a search for you and found these threads:

Thanks so very much for your input, I’ll check those out. I’m not sure if 66 is the same as a 65, my parts book should tell me. Cheers and stay safe

Robin,
 I can tell you that '66 is going to be different than '65. Unfortunately I don't have knowledge as to which supplier is the best.
 There were two different styles used depending on trim. If the wide reveal trim was installed, it uses different outside weather strip. On the inside , those pieces should have a black bead , not a chrome bead.

Thanks Loren.
I contacted a supplier called Class Tech, ordered BU149A, 113.95. Says it’s correct?
I’ll report fit etc when I get them, prob May before I see them.
FYI, I have complete 65 4 speed setup for my car, saw u were looking for info. I’m currently refinishing all the parts. Let me know if I can provide pics or dimensions.
I also have 64 3 speed setup, will be listing that soon as snowbanks melt here lol.
