Hey all, Been away awhile, got alot of things changing in my life. Got a new job in Colorado, & got rid of a cheating wife. Anywho I am going to start collecting parts for my wagon and one of the first things I want to get are all the weatherstrip, anti-rattle for the whole car. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company who makes a kit. I know Dennis Carpenter makes alot of the pieces I need ( I emailed them waiting for a response), but I don't see any for the rear doors. Just wonfering if I may need to koostom make the rubber for the rear doors.
Try www.cl***icautoparts.com I think you can still get the free catalog 365 pages they list some of the rear door rubbers.
Since you have a Country Sedan (Fordor) are you asking about the p***enger doors or the lift gate/tail gate? Both are available from various suppliers. The only thing I have not found is the side sliding window seals and channel. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure Chalupa will be needing those also.
I'm most concerned with the rear doors since they are a different shap than the rear doors on a 4-door car. I'm a little concerned about the felts for the rear sliding windows, but I think you can buy universal felts and bend them to shape. I got a response from Dennis Carpenter saying that all is available seperately, so I guess I should be ok. I hope...
You might check out Restoration Specialties too. I got some straight catwhiskers (fuzzies or whatever you wanta call it) from them and it's very good quality stuff. I haven't been on their site in awhile but I think they also sell bulk weatherstripping in various shapes & styles. Link: http://www.restorationspecialties.com/products.htm
