Title: Beltline kit manufacturer recommendations
Post by: rdmgt500 on December 14, 2025, 11:51:36 AM
I need to replace the beltline moldings on my 69 GT500. I read many good reviews about Daniel Carpenters weatherstripping kits, however, they don't seem to make the door beltline inner/outer weatherstrip. Repops and PUI beltline kits gets mixed reviews. Would appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Bob

I just installed the Repops versions, and am not impressed. Their kit is for a 1970, so it mounts differently. It will flop around unless I drill a hole in my doors to screw in the ends.

Beltlines are DIFFERENT on a FB compared to a convertible.

I bought the 68s and 69s sets off of Brant last year. Here was his post here. He may still have the pass side available. https://www.saac.com/forum/index.php?topic=30657.msg219096#msg219096

Use 3M trim tape on the ends - gave you the Walmart link. You can get it at all the auto stores too but they charge twice as much.

Do you know the difference?
