Sorry I'm too computer illiterate to post pics.. Web site is Studebaker-info.org for a Youtube video on how to replace on a 89 convertible. Google Avanti Window sweep Replacement and it will probably come up if you dont go to the website. The window sweeps come from a company called Precision Weatherstripping. Its called a beltline kit for 88 Monte Carlo 2 door. There are two variations, one with the outer stainless as shown in the You tube video , needed for convertible. I went with the non stainless ridge for my coupe. I did not need to match a stainless strip on my stationary rear quarter windows. Hope this helps

For what its worth, while doing some google search I found a site called Studebaker-info. It has a section dedicated to Avanti's. In pulling up a 1989 there was a reference to a UTube video for replacement of the window sweep rubber that I needed. Its from an 88 Mont Carlo. It works with some modifications but works beautifully. Way to long so needs to be cut down, but installs with drilling new holes.

Just had my 89 repainted. In the reassemble process my paint guy said that the back up lights and the front fender marker lights were epoxied in place. No brackets or screw holes, clips, etc. To mount , just epoxied in. He said pretty chezzy. Anybody have info on such? Was this Avanti's answer to keeping them in place vs some additional engineering . And if procedure is correct what type of epoxy should be used. They install from the backside.

The outer window horizontal rubber for my 89 is wasted. Cant find a source for 89. Will that same piece off an 83-85 be made to fit?

Anybody put 17-18" wheels on an 89 and was able to get proper back spacing to keep wheel and tire inside body line so no rubbing or bottoming out and hitting fender? Which wheel manufacturer?

An 04 listed on Hemmings with 137 miles. Anybody have any opinions on it? Would love to hear some thoughts. I'm interested in it but leery of 21 year old new car and dont know if price is fair. I bought a new 90 4 dr in 92, had no issues.
