Weatherstripping needed!!

[christine58]

Now getting ready to install the glass in my doors BUT usual story the weather seals are shot. I need the ones that push into the door frames and the felt ones that go on the out side edge of the glass and screw onto the door. Is there anyone who does this as a direct fit? Thanks chaps!!!

Hi Christine58:

I believe you are looking for door weatherstripping (that goes around the door frame), and beltline weatherstripping (cat whiskers).

I have good news, bad news, and good news.

The good news is that Restoration Specialties told me that they now offer beltline weatherstripping for a 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan:

> (1 kit)
> 8 & 9 belt-line weatherstrip
> 8.& 9.- No #, New Kit- $125.00-set of 4

The bad news is that I don't hold out much hope that they'll actually sell you a set. They presumably made a set based on samples that I sent in, but I'm not sure if they really ended up making copies. They had my parts for over a year, didn't send some back, blah blah.
Presumably, they also made a set of door weatherstripping from the set I sent in.

So you may be able to get everything you need there; I'm keen to hear if they got everything sorted out.

Now the good news, is that you'll see in that same thread that (independently) Steele Rubber came out with door weatherstripping. Their sample was from a 1976 Monaco 4-door sedan. I sent in samples from my 1974 Fury, and they matched them up, and apparently there's only one white clip on the front door weatherstripping that's in a slightly different place. But the mopar parts catalog shows the same part number for 1974 and 1976 front door. Steele said that it was close enough that they'll list the set for the entire 1974-1977 range. So you can give them a call, and you'll be sure to get a door weatherstripping set that will work.

I highly recommend Steele; they were a pleasure to work with.
And... if you need beltline weatherstripping, and can't get it from Steele (they also sell Restoration Specialties parts such as beltline weatherstripping - in order to provide for one-stop-shopping), and you can't get it from Restoration Specialties, let me know, and I'll contact Steele and see if they can do something with my samples, and I'll send them in to them.

your friend in part finding,
