Window Tape

Hi Folks,

Maybe someone here knows or remembers since I don't but something called
window tape used to come in the KOP (until 2001?). I think it was a black nylon ribbon about 1/8" thick that has rectangular cutouts in it that keep it tracking on pulleys.

Can still get it someplace?
Does anyone know where I can get this?

Thanks.

Re: Window Tape

In the past, when Team 95 needed more window tape, we got a big honkin' roll of it by talking nicely to the local car dealer (GM, I think). We've moved workshops 4 or 5 times since then, so we probably don't have it anymore, but if I see it, I'll let you know.

Edit: A quick web search shows that JC Whitney (jcwhitney.com) sells what looks to be the right tape. Item ZX157870B for 20 feet of it.

Re: Window Tape

The tape you are talking about is still standard for many power operated windows and mates with pulleys also available as repair parts. A cruise by the junkyard could get you several feet of tape and the connecting pulleys.

Wow, that appears to be the stuff. Thanks. Why I didn't think of looking at JCWhitney in the first place is beyond me.

Thanks, I'll check McMaster-Carr too, they at one time used to have it!


Thanks guys for stimulating my old brains cells.
