Now that she's running well I found a handful of donor vehicles to freshen up the interior. The latest (last?) improvement was window seals.
I got the rubbers after-market which fit really well and were easy to install. It's the window sweeps that have me stumped now.
Ford OEM p/n for a non-XLT (no vent windows) appear to be:
Left Outer E9TZ1021453A,
Right Outer E9TZ1021452A,
Left Inner E3TZ1021457A
Right Inner E3TZ1021456A
I purchased a set from Precision but found the clips don't line up (other than the first and last).
I called and spoke to Fairchild, pointing out that what Precision sent had 6 clips, but I have 7 slots in the door...and gave them the spacing measurements. Their direct replacement for the above p/n don't match.
This is a very old B2, so I did some homework on the XLT vs non-XLT. Seems the VIN won't help, and they sold the XLT with 'base' level trim, and a non-XLT could be customized to include XLT-level trim.
It seems the XLT version had door panels where the inner sweep was stapled, while non-XLT used clips. The sweeps I removed (broke away) were clipped both inner and outer.
Everywhere I've looked on-line for sweeps I see the same 6-clips with the wrong spacing. The Ford sticker is still on the driver's door, so it's not from a different vehicle.
Without asking anyone to remove their sweeps (seems to be a one-time install or remove the window to pop them out) - anyone have experience replacing their sweeps?
FWIW - Here are the measurements center-to-center:
| < 5" > | < 5 5/8" > | < 4 5/8" > | < 5 1/8" > | < 3" > | < 4 3/8" > |
(That's 7 clips)
