    Hi Stan. You're on an egghunt, and it isn't even Easter. Lets see:

    How about this? Use the Search for Parts menu. I just checked and they've got a lot for the 1965 Ford Country Sedan:

    Also here:

    and here:
    http://www.soffseal.com/

    If you're really stuck, these guys can make it for you:

    Rubbers

    On the subject of rubber, does anyone know where you can get something close the the u shaped rubber that goes on the "fake" wing windows for the rear doors on a 62-65 fairlane wagon? I am thinking of making a mold and using silicone or some kind of molding rubber but if anyone has suggestions I really would appreciate hearing from you, thanks, Timmo

    Steele rubber

    I actually have spoken with Eddie Lail at Steele Rubber several times, they don't have those extrusions but I have got the ball rolling on quarter windows gaskets for the 62-65 fairlane wagons. I sent him a complete original and a template of the window and he was able to produce ones that are close that I am using for now but at some point which is still maybe a year away he is going to get as original ones into production. As for the fake vent window rubbers I am still looking for something close as Steele would be more than a year away from production on them if at all. Thank you for your reply, cheers, Timmo
