For the felt pieces that clip on the door on either side of the driver and passenger windows. I have always call them cat whiskers, however, that is not the correct name. Does anyone have a clue? Need to find two set for both doors. Where can I find them, Classic industries or somewhere else?

Metro calls them"sweeper end plug"

P/N SB73-B

I don't remember who I bought them from but only one I could find that had them was a metro vender.

Just make sure not to get the rubber squeegee type. They leave about a 2 inch gap between the door and quarter window. Not to mention they don't look right at all. :cents:

Window sweeps, go figure, all this time I called them cat whiskers. Thanks for the input gang, now that I know the real name I can order me a couple of sets.

I've also seen the term cat whiskers used to describe the door glass run channels mostly in older cars - say, pre-60 ....

A lot of places/people call it just what it is..."Window Felt" or "Window Channel Felt" also... :cents:
