I believe these maybe called window whiskers from reading in the forum but can't see much info on originality. Also I'm concerned about the visible material at the top, and not sure if that is separate from the brushes against the glass, or just a sign the whole thing is worn out.
Mine appear to be white cloth that has got stained over time, but I wonder if anyone else has seen these or if they should have been black and sort of velvet/felt covered from the factory, with that just having worn down to the base material. White/natural would seem an impractical edging!?

Any idea what it might cost to have new ones put on both doors - don't know I can face taking yet another thing apart on the car right now lol.

Thanks,
Rich
