I ordered carpets, headliner and windlace from Automotive Interriors which all just arrive - fantastic quality and price however just as everyone here says on "some" models you need to sew in the extra inch of material to reach the hooks, well I'm curious if the Hawks are not part of the "some models"?
The Studebaker Intl site leads one to believe it's only the larks which need the strip as they sell a windlace for those years.
I can see that the small tab on the windlace I ordered which is about 1/2 inch will reach the very tip of the tabs but doing so has the rounded area angled on at a 45 degree angle from the sheetmetal (door) edge.. Is that how it was supposed to be or should the windlace be totally flush to compress against the door??
My car was stripped out so I was never able to see how it was done and here in South Dakota there are too few Hawks to compare!!
I appreciate your comments! Thanks.
2-more weeks and the Hawk will be on the road!
