    You couldn't post a picture of the profile? I just posted a detailed description of what I used because FamilyTruckster seems to have a similar issue:

    Try Steele Rubber products. They say if they don't have it they can make it.

    'remember when the term 'Family vacation' meant actually getting into the Wagon and driving somewhere?(y)

    I remember going to the Drive-in movies all the time, I am going to start a one manned effort to promote them with my wagon when im finished restoring it.
    I will be promoting the drive-ins at cruise nights in my area.
    Here is a website you can hook up with a drive-in near you. Great info on how many there were back in the day and still exist today.:bouncy:

    Have you found it yet? I'm in the same situation.... I guess mine could last another year or two but it's on its last leg:

    window sweep

    You can try Restoration Specialties. Com . They had one for my 67 vista. I took the old one to the Charlotte Auto Fair and they matched it up with the correct part for inside and outside. They even had the correct clips that will need to be installed. Hope this helps. Tony

    I highly suggest to take off your inner panel and POR15 the inside.
    I did all my inner doors as part of my restoration slash/ preservation.

    I second that. My 88 Caprice was pretty decent all around, but when I checked the tailgate window motor as I sometimes had to help it by hand going up, I found a lot of rust there. Probably because of this rubber weatherstrip going bad. Even the arms (cross) of the window moving system were heavily rusted.
