Taillight Lens

Hi,
This material could work for your Corvair...this is one of the simpler materials we offer and is very easy to use and can be used on almost anything. The question is, is it correct for your Corvair. That I am not sure on - you would need to compare it to the original material on your car. This material (10-208X) was used by both Ford and GM for many years and we see it on most vehicles from the 40's to the early and even mid 60's on some vehicles. If you are not super concerned with originality the 10-208X is a great choice. If you want to try and match the originals you can view all of the profiles we offer using the link below and you should find a match.

Hi,

Hi,
The most common methods to attach these from the factory was either a special clip or staple. That being said most people will simply use a sheet metal xxxx , rivet or adhesive. We do offer some clips and the staples. Please understand this product is the material only. Any fasteners etc will need to be purchased separately. You can use the link below to see some of the fasteners that are still available - if you want to go this route please make sure they are a match to your originals.

The 10-208X is the correct beltline weatherstrip material for the 1953 Chevy Bel Air. This 10-208X material is also sold as a pair of 3' strips, see #10-049X. These are identical materials with the exception that the 10-208X is sold as a pair or 4' sections, the 10-049X is sold as a pair of 3' sections. Most vehicles in your era will require 4 pairs of the 10-049X when doing the inners and outers on all doors and quarter windows.

Keep in mind this is a cut to length material, but this is easy to do. Also, while it has the metal core as original, it is flexible as the core is segmented - you can get up to a 90 degree bend. To install you will need hardware and or adhesive. We recommend using the original GM Factory method which is typically a staple for the inners and likely a clip for the outers. While I am not certain of this, most cars of this era follow this method. I have put a link below to the page on our site where we offer beltline related hardware. Also, while the original factory method is great, there are many ways to install these. Some guys, even high end shops use a urethane adhesive (we do not sell). Others use rivets or screws or a combination. If you have further questions please call or email - 866-789-7879 or sales@rubbertherightway.com
