Bye bye catwhisker

["Espen Graffer" <espeng@chello.no>]

Ciao!
I'm happy to announce that I've thrown my catwhiskers in the bin. Finally  
I found what I think is the perfect modern replacement for the original  
outer window scraper/weatherstrip (catwhisker).

It's made by Stanpro and the partnumber is 75001180 (MR172X).

These pictures show front left door of my Deauville, before and after. The  
interference fit between window and lip is approx. 1 mm.

I believe the Pantera uses the same catwhisker, also fastened with tiny  
screws. My Pantera was modified when I bought it, but I have not been able  
to find which weatherstrip is used. The lip is a bit softer and longer  
than this one (but fits well too).
