    Weatherstrip

    You will cut your old ends off and glue them then, on my 4-door at least, ran it up the A-pillar where the factory glued in a 45 degree piece before going on toward the rear of the car. I tried to replicate it and cut out the 45 degree turn and reuse it. That meant there was four joints to glue...

    "Pclancy, post: 607851, member: 5024"]Dear Kip: Thanks for your great post. I have a 1977 Newport Coupe (two door hardtop) and my weatherstripping--- on the top edge where the window (rolled up) meets the car body is now cracked and obviously showing signs of great age. I contacted Matt of...

    "ceebuddy, post: 711410, member: 3186"]On such a low-mileage car at such a price I would not expect to discover something like this (see arrows)” I noticed that rust spot along the rocker too and I see the carpet marks as well. It’s a nice looking car but most likely the odometer has been...

    I’d be a little skeptical based on what I’ve read. Limited pics that can only be uploaded via text messages because the computer is wonky yet the seller can access this forum just fine. Pics can be attached here just fine and the seller claims to be a restorer yet any restorer worth his salt...

    Brent, Short answer is not available however, there is a GM extrusion available from Dave at Restoration Specialities. You must cut off your end pieces though and glue them in with weatherstrip adhesive. I did my 78 NYB and if you see the photobucket link below it matches up pretty good. Tap...
