stainless/rubber weatherstrip - 12/31/16 01:02 AM

Does anyone know who sells the stainless/rubber weatherstrip that attaches to the top of the interior panels on an E body? Had my rear convertible panels restored and they are missing the weatherstrip. The new metro door panels have the strip, looks like it just snaps on and comes in a long strip that you cut to the correct length. Thanks.

Recommend TopCat brand.

Where did you get your rear panels "restored"?

The issue that you may run into with using any of the reproduction window felts is the thickness of the panel. I have been selling the Top Cat felts as long as they have been on the market and I know that some of the interior panels will not take the correct style of felts due to the thickness issue. If you can "mic" the thickness, I can measure the spread to see if they will work for your car. It may be possible to safely spread the channel slightly, but could compromise the crimping effect as they are installed onto the panel. Would also need to know the length of the rear inner panel, as we have found two different lengths through the years.

Looking for the one that is used on the Metro repop panels. They fit well and the panels are originals so I would think the ones on the repop panels would work. The reproductions look exact in thickness compared to originals. Not sure about the exact length for the convertible panels, was going to cut them to the length of the top edge of the panels.
