windows rattle like crazy!

My passenger and driver side door windows are rattling and I need a quick cheap fix. I can get the anti rattle kit for a $150 bucks but id rather do it for like $10. Ill do that once I get around to the full restore. Do they make felt clips that mount inside the window frame (like '92 rangers)? I got the dorman little metal clips, but they were a hassle and kept falling out and so forth. Any ideas for a cheaper fix?

You can buy "cat whiskers" with clips from any autoglass shop for one heck of a lot less than 150 bucks. These are universal "fitz-alls" come in a length of 6 ft., so are cut to fit.

Cat whiskers is an old term for door glass weatherstrips that clip to the inside/outside of the door between the glass, aka anti-rattlers.

Cut yourself a small wood wedge and stick it between the door/glass.

Cost=$0.00

Effectiveness=10

Prettiness=1

Truck and Car shop in Orange California has the complete anti rattler/felt kits for 46 bucks.

48-86 Ford Truck 08 - Fullscreen

Page 71

67-17845 for 67 to 70
71-17846 for 71 to 72

I just used one of these kits to do a 72 F100. Good Quality and easy install.
