    Trying to find a complete set/kit for all four windows and the tailgate window for the window channel felt for a full-size '62 Olds wagon? I would imagine any '61-'64 GM wagon would be the same. Length of tailgate piece would be approximately 52-53 inches; could fabricate as necessary.

    Thanks again!

    Restoration Specialties can use your old pieces as a pattern and make new ones or sell you the pieces in 6 ft lenghts and you make your own. You can also try Fusicks , they are a parts house just for Oldsmobiles.

    The outside door fuzzies are available in the stainless steel beaded type as used by GM, however, the originals have a bend in them at the ends, that is going to be very difficult to duplicate. My wagon doesn't have a tailgate, so I can't tell you what was used. You are correct, that any 1961 - 1964 GM full size wagon part will work, but there isn't much that is offered for these cars, unless it also fits the same year Chevrolet's.

    Tailgate window seal

    Finally tracked down new inner and outer seals for my '67 Tempest tailgate window (A body). These are the long seals that keep water from running down the tailgate glass into the tailgate. Now the question is, what is the trick to R & R them? Pop them out with a screwdriver or is there a special tool?
