    Do I understand correctly that the weatherstripping for the rear doors of a 71-76 GM wagon are different than a 4 door car? I was hoping to just order the weatherstripping for a 4 door sedan.


    Thanks,
    Brandon

    I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't doubt it. I know on my wagon the rear doors are different from a sedan.

    I assumed that the hardtop doors would work, but do you mean that a Chevy and Pontiac are not interchangeable and the Chevy is 4 inches shorter than other models??

    Thanks,

    Just looked at the '71 Pontiac brochure on line....
    It sure looks like the rear wagon doors are very similar, if not identical to a Bonneville 4-door sedan rear door. I would think that if you could only find a sedan weatherstrip, you should be able to make it work.

    EDIT: They are different - up around the top rear window frame corner.

    Maybe I'll hear from someone that has replaced the seals on a Clamshell and see what they did.

    They ARE different than a sedans. I think total length is a little longer. I just bought a set of Metro's from RockAuto and they fit like a glove. About $50 for a pair of doors. Best price I could find anywhere.

    Check out www.rockauto.com .

    Does that mean Dano Enterprises had a lower price than everybody or ripped everybody off?

    Danno = $60.00

    Above is for a front door or rear door set (left and right).
