You are in luck. The 74-78 SEDANS are the only 74-78 cars that have rubber available. Contact Steele Rubber.

Meant to ask you about that. What's the deal with the installation. Just pull the old ones out and pop in the new ones?

Yes, it was pretty easy. I handed them to my body/paint guy and he put them back on. LOL!
