Which accordion boots for doors?

Post by County98 »

I've decided to run my front speakers in the doors. I looked it up on Clark's, and they want $38 PER BOOT! Plus their shipping of course.

Not hating on them, I have a Clark's order in right now, but that's crazy expensive. I don't care about factory original.

For those that ran wires to their doors, which hinge boots did you use? Pics and Amazon links appreciated!
Cheers!

sounds like something a trip to the local pick a part would solve. you could either buy them there or just figure out what car has something workable and buy them new

True, and good idea. Hasn't stopped raining for days though, it'll be another week before it dries out enough to go exploring.

I'm hoping someone has recently done this, and has an Amazon link to ones that work?

I have what you're looking for in Zonker for the one piece electric windows.

Although I would not use them again because they don't look right...squished.

You may not be able to avoid that due to Corvairs weren't designed for them.

There are about half a bazillion different style choices out there on bezozon.
