Title: Rear Window Rubber Post by: satch56 on March 21, 2019, 10:18:48 PM Hi all, finally getting the FE happening. Does any one know if FJ rubber the same profile as a early 56 FE rubber. Mine is the thin chrome and I don't think the rubber is available for the Special with the thin chrome.

The FE is an “S” section, which needs both the screen and rubber as well as the moulds to be all fitted together then installed as a complete unit. The FJ screens are smaller than the opening in the body and the FE screen is larger.
Hope this helps. Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: satch56 on March 23, 2019, 08:13:43 PM Thank you for that. I will just have to go standard would had been good to keep the thing chrome Thanks again
Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: fcwrangler on March 24, 2019, 09:22:08 AM If you want to have the chrome, get the special rubber and use the large FE/FC moulds. I might have a spare set if you want to go that way.
Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: satch56 on March 24, 2019, 09:50:45 AM I think I would prefer to keep the chrome. Be happy to purchase chrome off you if you want to part with it. Thanks.

Just have to search for one stainless joiner. Another piece of the jigsaw nearly done!!!
Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: fcwrangler on March 31, 2019, 02:56:45 PM Don’t want to put a spanner in the works, but if you purchased a standard rubber there is no slot for the stainless moulds to fit into. You need a special rubber.
Jim Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: satch56 on March 31, 2019, 07:21:01 PM Hi Jim my mistake I didn't mean to type standard I did purchase a special. Just my old man brain can't think of two things at once, just as my wife keeps telling me.

Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: mcl1959 on April 01, 2019, 07:54:26 PM I would have a pair of the stainless joiners for the screen trim.
Ken Title: Re: Rear Window Rubber Post by: satch56 on April 02, 2019, 12:44:42 PM That is great Ken. I only need one but more than happy to purchase from you one or the pair. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190402/0f478c16f36c207b7b37dd7b4baa27f6.jpg)
