So, with the top inside door panel appears to not be removable, How do you get the window fuzzies replaced?

Don't shoot me.....

Replaced the original steering box in my '68 Coronet with a Reman. from Firm Feel Inc.View attachment 630073

Is that another 1968 Coronet with the factory 318 and a FF gear! The small block and the FF gear make them a blast to drive in the curves!

The inside fussies on a 68 RR, have clips and remove and install like the outer.

So you have to lower the window stop in order to get the window down enough to have room to get the fuzzies out? I have a 68 Plymouth Satellite too........................MO

Those clips are a bitch. I doubt if the window in or out of the way makes much difference.

Mine looked like the original ones, I just rolled the windows down all the way an I was able to change them, I double taped the paint along the edge of the fuzzies as not to scratch the paint. Grabbed the fuzzie edge close to the door handle and pulled straight up. And slow working each clip out of there hole. Some came easy and some harder just take your time. Now to put the new ones in start at the wing window and get the clip in the first hole and work your way down the window. Once I did the first one it was kind of easy. But do it slow as not to damage the paint.

 

[SSmoothie]

I used a pair of channel locks to grab the edge and a couple of times I had to use small screw driver to pry the clip out of the hole. One the back ones the outer are like the front but the inner you have staples that hold it to the inner door panels.

OK, now I understand, lifting straight up. Only ones I have done were my 64 Dodge which the entire door panel comes off, and the fuzzies push on with the clips being horizontal. . Thanks.....................MO

How do you get to those staples? Does the top inner panel come off on the back panels? .........................MO

It's the '68 Coronet I've owned for five yrs. now. Came with the LA 318 engine with 2 barrel carb., but I have installed a warmed over 360 and made a number of upgrades to the front and rear suspension. Recently the original steering box started leaking so I purchased and installed a FF box. The car does handle well for what it is and yes it's fun in the corners! Firm Feel Inc. does a good job on the boxes they remanufacture.
