Which ones do you need?

There are a handful of NOS weatherstrips out there, but they're few and far between. No one repops any of the 4 door or wagon weatherstrips. I recently bought almost every 71-up b-body sedan/wagon weatherstrip I could find to use on my 73 Dodge wagon resto and/or to save as extras. I'm keeping mine, but if I know which ones you need, I might be able to point you in the right direction.

I need all the weatherstripping for the tailgate and all my doors are shot so need the stuff to redo all the doors. Thank for your reply.

There was a vendor that had 1 or 2 of the door weatherstrips left. I'll look it up when I get home.

As far as tailgate stuff, there's not much left. I bought everything I could find. Frank Mitchell has 1 set of outer tailgate seals (l/r) listed on Ebay for $275, and they won't budge on the price. Those have been for sale there for quite a while.

I called several vendors to find my stuff, and most of them had nothing, or had 1 piece here or 1 piece there. Arizona Parts has lots of obsolete stuff, though not much left with regard to weatherstrips.

Back when I had my Valiant wagon, I had found a place in Australia that sold all the seals for wagons. It was good stuff, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the place. Ozhemi may know who it is. Sorry I can't be of any more help, but maybe this will jog someone elses memory.

Depending on what the door weatherstrips for a '71 wagon look like, you might be able to use 4-door sedan weatherstrips. As for wagon-specific stuff like the tailgate, I don't think much of that is reproduced. Restoration Specialties has 62-65 B wagon quarter glass seals, and they're very nice, but I haven't seen them for the later cars.

I have started a discussion with Steele Rubber about reproducing the doors and tailgate weather stripping.

Once I have my car at home, I will see the exact condition of the parts on it and can go from there.

Mike (not_a_charger), if you have spares, would you be willing to work together on this?

Thanks,

Mike.

Try Top Catwhiskers, ph.814-467-9842. Got all the window felts and door seals for my `68 wagon from them for around $400. Not including the rear gate.

By "door seals," do you mean the rubber weatherstrips that attach to the inside of the door shell and seal the door to the rocker/pillars/quarter? Or do you mean the window surrounds?

Restoration Specialties is 20 mi from me.I gave them my 62 Savoy wagon rear quarter glass gasket as a pattern eleven years ago,three months later they had them finished and gave me a set for the use of mine as a pattern.Call them and ask for Dave JR,you may be surprised.I have furnished them with more than one pattern item for reproduction.They are a manufacturer for a "lot" of their products,not a middleman vendor.

Grab a cross section of what you need and then take a look through this universal list here

http://www.soffseal.com/store/main.aspx?p=PictureListBody&c=UNEX

I bought 50 feet of E145 last year. Fits all the doors on my 1978 B. Almost exactly the same shape and structure as OEM, although in my opinion it is a little on the floppy/soft side. But for less than a hundred bucks, and the impossibility of finding sedan and wagon weather strip, I'll take it. The only real problem is you have to punch the clip holes yourself and that's a time consuming job. Money or time, money or time

I think they'll send you a foot sample if you want, or even if you have to pay for it you're talking less than 10 bucks

+1 for these guys for wagon rubber bits. I got my lower tailgate seal and the internal window seal (bottom of the window to the top of the tailgate window opening) for my 67 for a reasonable price, nobody else had those parts.
