What is the difference in early convertible brush strips and later ones?
I found a source to purchase a few sets but they are only selling later model brush strips for the models of the 1970s and newer, wont they all work?. Also they are selling them left side and right side. They are sold out of the right side. Does it make any difference what side? |

Phillip,
I don't think the sides make any difference. The later red ones were stiffer. I usually heat the plastic up with a hair dryer to make it flexible. If the plastic is too stiff when installing the brushes. Some say not to use the later brush strips on the older convertibles. I've never had a problem with it. I'm referring to the "red brush strips" not the CWP brush. I think the CWP brush in newer convertibles is fine. Some don't like it This post was last edited 03/04/2016 at 11:54 |
