Cat Whiskers for door panel

[Logger10]

I purchased new after market cat whiskers for my door panels. I am having a terrible time trying to get them on the panels. If anyone here has installed these I would appreciate your help. Thank you!

Did you ever get an answer? Mine keeps coming off. I did not attach them originally.

Just did mine last month (classic industries) and couldn’t get them on, at first. Placed a screwdriver blade ever so gently so as not to tear up the adhesive strip in the channel, then twist every 1/2 inch or so to slightly widen the gap - then a light tap with a urethane mallet

At least that’s how I did it

As for the “keep coming off” you have to do the opposite and close the gap a bit, weather stripping adhesive may be your friend too

Hey Logger10, I had the same issues. Top Cat are great whiskers. I posted how I put them on with pictures. Check out my post under Surfcuda Top Catwhiskers

Hi, I purchased a set of Top Catwhisker door panel felts. I cannot seem to get them to fit on my door panels. Does anyone have any experience with Top Cat whiskers? And is there any tricks to the trade as far as mounting them? Any help would be appreciated. 🏝

Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you all for input & ideas on mounting the door panel whiskers. Excudame, the KY helped tremendously. So here are a few photos to paint the install picture. I used the lubricant and a wooden wedge to pop them in with a rubber mallet. Also I started at the curve because there is a stop lip on the door panel on this end for placement. They went on so easily it was enjoyable! No head banging and saying WTF! The Top Catwhiskers were a bit $$, but worth every penny. These are quality Whiskers and look awesome. Again TY! 🏝

Logger10, here’s the photos. Using the wood shims and rubber mallet I avoided any damage to the Whisker Metal. Once tapped into place all the way down they fit tight, so they will never pop off on their own. Hope this helps
