Correct 1963 Coupe outer window wipe....anyone reproducing the wipe?

[Michael G.]

Good Saturday morning,

Anyone know if the correct style and length outer window wipe is being produced for a '63. To date have not found anyone doing such. Below is what was shipped to me as replacement applicable for '63-'67 from one of the suppliers. After doing additional research on the LIC website states "cut for fitment for a '63". Heck....the holes don't even line up. Image shows the original still attached to trim, replacement wipe on bottom.Thanks.

Michael,

I had NOS wipes for my 63 and as I recall there were no holes so I drilled them through the small screw holes in the bead moulding. Does your bead moulding have the clips that are unique to 1963 still attached, mine are long gone and I need to replace them with something.

Unclear what clips you would be referring to.....there were some prongs that protruded through the rubber for attachment.

It appears what is offered for '63 owners is what I received....poor replacement if that is the case.
