If the extrusion is available, as noted above, save all the molded parts - ends, corners, transitions, and use a qualty "crazy-glue" to make new weatherstrips by gluing the pieces onto the extrusion. I did that on my first C body way back when nothing was available, and it worked excellently.

Ok, this is good stuff. I called RS and got the correct seal coming. Thank you all for the help!!

I inquired about the window whiskers. He does not have them listed for a 78 Newport, but he does have them for a 74-78 New Yorker, with a vent which I have on the Newport.
Anyone know if New Yorker whiskers will fit a Newport?
Thank You, Wolf.

Same year Newport is the same as a New Yorker, they’re just different trim lines of the body style.. if I’m incorrect, someone please straighten me out.

Thanks, and that's what I thought, I can't see a difference in the whisker area after looking at pics of both cars, and I imagine they attach the same way, I have done them before on other cars. They are $170 and RS will take them back if they don't fit.
