I have a set of NOS outer rear quarter window fuzzies for my car, but I still need the ones for the doors. I don't have a spare $500 for NOS so I'm going A/M. Can you buy just the door outer fuzzies or do you have to buy the 4 pc kit? All the websites are terrible for their descriptions of the fuzzies and they don't have clear pictures. I need the ones like GM p/n 7729998.
I've narrowed it down to either Re-Pops or PUI and I'm leaning towards PUI. It looks like I came up with a p/n 0235-10 from Jegs and p/n C-10710-22A from NPD. They appear to be the same 4 piece set, but it's hard to tell and I'd rather order these once...
Any current thoughts on outer door fuzzies? I know all the older threads have complaints about the lack of rounded chrome and thin fuzzy material.

I need the exact same, door outer fuzzies. Someone mentioned Camaro Specialties, but I wasn't clear which set was closest to original.

From what I've been reading, current production Repop brand felts are the closest.

Who makes them best, and why are you leaning toward PUI?

Repop is the brand name. They are supposed to be the best/most accurate. I was leaning towards PUI because I thought they were basically the same and I was finding them locally a lot easier. Saves on shipping... I'm working on a good deal right now with someone that is hooking me up with a full set of Repops for short money, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I like the Repops brand. Not perfect, but very close.

I've ordered a full set "Camaro Coupe Deluxe Felt Window Kit 8pc" CA172A, I'll let you know what I think. I have some pieces NOS, so I didn't need the full set - but it will give me an opportunity to compare those pieces in the set to NOS parts.

Thanks - Andy

My order was canceled.

The supplier didn't have the set they were selling and Repops says they don't have the material to make more fuzzies. I don't know how long that will be an issue. I'll check other suppliers.

While stumbling through all of the outer fuzzy posts here and other websites, I found something posted by Sauron67MM here that impacts any of us that have used aftermarket quarters.

The short of it is, the quarter panel holes where the rear quarter fuzzies attach are not in the same locations as the holes on the originals quarters - which makes it appear that the new fuzzies have less rubber flap or just don't fit correctly.
I have AMD quarters down at the body shop and an NOS set of rear fuzzies, this is something that will be best corrected prior to putting the quarters on. Hopefully this isn't an issue anymore with the aftermarket quarters! I have an NOS quarter sitting in my barn to do some comparisons too.

This issue has been discussed at length. Scott is definitely a man in the know. Do yourself a favor though and don't do anything until you've compared the felts and how they fit. I think you'll find that it isn't always an issue and you might get lucky or dodge being unlucky is more appropriate.

WTS-1058 is the part# I ordered from HBC 12/6/15. Was told a couple week backorder. All I need is driver's side...if poor fit and finish, old one going back on. Been a little tore up for 30years, guess I can live with it.

You can find Nos front fuzzies for around $200.00 for the pair , I have seen more than 1 pair at this price point ...

I'd buy every set I could find at that price!

Were you able to source some? I received the Repops brand felts I bought from someone and they must be the older version. The outers aren't too bad other than not having rolled ends, but the inners are terrible. The chrome pieces are oval shaped and much bigger than my originals. Luckily my original inners are perfect and I only really needed the front outers. I'll sell the rest to someone that isn't as worried about originality. The mounting positions are all identical to the originals and the felt is nice.

No I haven't found another source. I have the outer rear quarters NOS, I only need the front outers as well. My originals that came off are actually in decent shape, some bends I can fix, and a little rust could be sanded and painted, rubber and bead is fine, but the fuzzy part is bad. Has anyone ever tried to just replace the fuzzy part of an outer, where would that material come from?

I keep dreaming that a set of just front outers NOS will magically appear on EBAY for a reasonable price.

"I keep dreaming that a set of just front outers NOS will magically appear on EBAY for a reasonable price." Now that's funny!
I also have NOS rear outers. All my inners are good. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm going to see what I can do about getting a new version good set of Repop front outers. I can't help you on the fuzz replacement.

I didn't win the lottery, but I hit the jackpot on Craigslist. A pair of NOS 69 inner fender wells appeared in Kentucky. When I called I asked if he had anything else, and he had a bunch of stuff from an 85 year old man that was cleaning out his barn. This guy (a self-professed non-camaro guy) was selling the stuff for him and wanted it gone, and was only doing it so the old man wouldn't just throw it away.

A pair of 69 NOS inner fender wells, 3 NOS fuzzies (2 front 1 back), 4 spear moldings and 2 retainers. I won't brag about the prices because its rude. He wouldn't split stuff up, so I had to buy everything.

I tried to leave but he wanted to get rid of everything, so I also bought a cowl air cleaner which I don't need and 69 brakes and odd 68 brakes that I think are actually chevelle. He had a bunch of pulleys and brackets and other stuff I didn't know anything about, so I said no to the rest. That was probably a mistake.

But the lesson is CALL. When I got there (4 hr drive one way), he complained about all the emails and that every single person wanted to have him ship stuff. He just wanted to get rid of it, he didn't want to email people and he had no interest in shipping anything. Great guy - best parts trip ever.

Yes, if the price was 'good enough'.. buy it ALL.. separate the shinola from the s**t later..

Just found this, wish I had bought this when I was there. I still think my originals can be reconditioned...at least it could be fun to try.

Just ordered 4 pc. outer set from Camaro Specialties. I agree, you would thing a "felt " kit would be available for the sweeps. My rears are in fair shape, pass fair, driver's shot. Hard parts excellent, shame they have to be shelved.

Time to head out back and tinker with the car.
