Greetings JP. Can you share what you did for your door glass runs, weatherstrips, gaskets, etc., please? Parts sources? Parts numbers? Refurbish techniques?
"Bug-catcher" window rubber---Are those reproductions? Did you resurrect the originals---how? Mine are either cracked, shrunk, brittle or all of the above.
The inner soft-bristle and outer curved-rubber door glass "sweeps?"---Those are attached by "hog-rings," correct? New sweeps? Oem? Aftermarket? Where did you get them? Or did you refurbish the originals? My outer sweeps, or what is left of them, are crispier than burnt pizza crust.
Window runs---Same questions. New oem parts? Aftermarket? Part number and source, please?
How-to threads on restoring and obtaining parts for early hardtop top door glass seals aren't common, or I haven't searched well enough. Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Jake,
I sourced everything from SOR, I used their kit for the 65-74 front doors. (http://www.sor.com/cat124.sor) The weather striping needs to be trimmed up top to make it work and the kit obviously doesn't include the correct bug catcher window seals. I was able to reuse my originals as they were somewhat serviceable.
