    Hi,

    please could someone tell me what are the best matching Weatherstrips for my car? I have some new Weatherstrips, but they are more flat and they are hollow. Maybe they are a universal size, but with only moderate matching.

    The old Originals were not hollow, from a softer foamed rubber with a smooth skin and I think they were also with more thickness.


    Best regards
    Munzel

    Try Steele Rubber Products. Door seals for that car should be closed cell foam and not hollow.

    You're quite welcome. Be careful with the tailgate to body opening weatherstrip and rubber glass channel, these are not reproduced.

    They don't. Tailgate weatherstripping for the GM big car wagons stops being reproduced after the 1971 glide away wagons came on the market. Nothing after that is easily obtained.

    In my experience if Steele Rubber doesn't have what you're looking for, no one will.
