I am so sad to see this! I have heard nothing but good things about the dew wipes you produce. It was going to be my winter project. One needs something Fiero related to do when the sn * w flies, right? I hope you reconsider and post that you are once again producing them.

I will look into doing another run this fall once all the car shows are done and my Fiero has been put away for the season.

I am needing a set as well for the daughters car. If you need numbers to make a run worthwhile count me in for one full set!

I need another full set as well.

I would buy a set, mine are trashed.

Glad to read that you may reconsider after the car show season is over. Will be following with bated breath

I'd like to order a set.

Every Fiero still in existence should need new dew wipes and every one that I come across has cracked dew wipes. Trouble is that they are so freaking hard to replace most do not attempt it. I just replaced a pair and because I was also doing a window replacement it was a piece of cake but changing them with the window up is a different story. From what I can see the center screws cannot be easily removed. I guess with Rodneys steel bar shallow head screwdriver you can get between the window and wipe but it ain't easy. A while back Anthony Cook shared a trick that he used to replace these. He removes the door panel (carefully of course) paints reference marks, unbolts the window stops and raises the window all the way up past the screw heads. Then a standard screwdriver can be used to reach the hard to get ones. You've got to be careful to not lose the shallow flat head phillips screws that hold the wipes in place. When I lose one I use old ones, but new they seem impossible to find. Anyone know of a source?

Thanks for the info Dennis. It would be nice if jelly2m8 would see this post. He could chime in to the procedure for replacement
tips. I know jelly2m8 personally and he installed new GM dew wipes on my 88GT. He's a good guy and does really good work.
I never met someone that turns wrenches as good as his fieros work / perform.

I hope he could give us some input on this technical info to make the job easier.

I guess it doesn't really matter if nobody is making decent replacements.
