Description
Window scrapers or felts are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in keeping your windows and doors in good condition. These rubber-backed strips run along the base of windows that move up and down, found on door windows, side glass, and tailgates. Made with a soft fibrous material and sometimes a metal layer for durability, they help remove dirt, water, and frozen elements from windows, especially in cold weather. They also prevent water from entering the body panels and protect the glass from scratches. While maintenance is minimal, it’s important to periodically clean them with a damp towel to avoid dirt buildup. When replacing them, new screws or rivets can make installation easier. Typically, replacing these requires removing the inner door panel, so offering interior removal tools can improve your customer’s experience. Over time, these parts wear out, so be sure to inspect and replace them as needed for optimal performance.
