Anti-rattle kit ??

Who makes the best anti-rattle kit? Quality, price and ease of installation ? I have to replace mine on a 1979 F150. Thanks for any input or tips.

I replaced the ones on my 74 with a kit from LMC, fit good and the price is right. I will order a set for my 79 F100. there are many others that sell these kits at various prices that may be better. I'm sure someone will let you know.

Stinky has an operation over in China that manufactures anti-rattle kits for the American market.

Why a PM? I'm interested in hearing opinions on these kits, too. I'm about to order three of them, just haven't made up my mind from where.

I have two 78's and both have LMC anti rattle kits and both work great,One was done 10 years ago and is still just as nice as the day it went on.

For my '73, I got all soft items to rebuild both doors from D. C. Everything was fine except the end retainer clip on either inside or outside was angled wrong. I had to adjust it but it finally installed just fine. Windows up and down like new. I also got the door rubber moldings and they fit very well, doors close probably better than new....No slamming required.

I've used LMC for 3 different projects and the anti-rattles were perfectly fine. When I made my initial order around 2000 or so they came in Ford packaging!

I'm the last person to champion LMC (i've had my fair share of bum parts from them), but in regards to their anti-rattle kits i have to confess i was pretty impressed.

It was quality stuff, the rubber, felt, metal, all of it, it was very well constructed, and the fit was second to none, just my 2 cents.
