does anyone know where I can get side window weather strips for a 72 Centurion Conv other than ww.supercar.com they only have the door sections not the rear quarter window ones.
Any two door Electra/LeSabre/Centurion should do, but they're really hard to find in decent condition. My car didn't really have any weatherstripping att all when I got it, more like just the metal plate with a thin layer of hard rubber at best. I've got all mine from junk cars, and I even got the outer one for the driver's door is from a late 70's two door small Cadillac. I just sawed some small edges off, drilled some small holes and on it went. I have a problem area there, so I couldn't fit the original piece any more. New door coming up! Ask Smartin, our Centurion guru, he got all his weatherstripping in one go from somewhere. I would also like to add to the question list... drumroll............. the cam?
unfortunately we dont have any of these vehicles available in yards here in australia so I can only purchase new.
Ah sorry, didn't see that.. Where in Australia are you located? I spent a year there working with sports betting in Alice Springs for nine months and then travelling around for the remainder of the year. I had a 78' Falcon which was my baby, a bit beat up, but hey I really liked it. Sold it to an English chick when I left. Which pieces are you after, inner/outer/ 2/4 doors / quarters?
Alice Springs!! Who were you hiding from? Great car the 78, just pensioned one off with a 351C, rust problem unfortunately. have ordered the door window seals from Supercar.com but no one seems to have the Qtr window ones.
Try these guys. Not sure how much of a purist you want to be about OEM/original, but I have heard good things about their rubber parts... http://www.1aauto.com/
You don't say if you need the inside or outside fuzzies I got outside fuzzies for me 73 Riv from http://www.restorationspecialties.com, front and back set for $145.00.
Have you tried Classicbuicks.com and PUI? Steele rubber products is a PUI distributor. I just bought a window weatherstrippng kit for my 67 Riv. To my surprise, it came with the quarter window pieces.
Niether PUI or Steele list an eight piece belt line set and Classicbuick only seem to cover the A body with a 8 piece set. So how did you order a Riv set
I ordered mine from PUI through Steele. They weren't listed as an eight piece kit specifically, so all I was really expecting was the outers. The 67 Riviera style of inner and outer can be had in universal lengths, and I was planning to go that route until I noticed these for not a whole lot more $. For my 76 LeSabre 4dr, there were none to be found- not even in unversal lengths. I eventually got Restoration Specialties to do the 4 outers, and found some universal inners that ended up working ok.
