 |
|
Okay, so I bought this Squareback about two years ago (from this fantastic site) and I supplimented it's missing parts with those from a '70 (that I bought local). Later, I did a quick paint job after some sanding. But that stop-gap paint job is no longer cutting it and that means I need to give it the paint job it deserves. But what I need is the following:
two complete sets of door rubber.
back window seals with the metal thing in the seal (or at least space for it).
back hatch seal.
black fender beading for all fenders.
windshield.
visors.
The most important things are the rubber. MidAmerica Motorworks either don't have the right thing (they like to ignore the squares) or it will cost two or more souls. And the classifieds here seem to not have what I need.
So where should I go? |

door rubber - if you don't mind switching from the original, try the DDB's door rubber...
window seals, rear hatch seals and fender beading - ISPWest handled most/all of this for me...
visors are hit and miss - I ordered a set from MidAmerica; they were TMI visors, which proved to be about 1/2" too short and I have had to rig them to work...

yeah, The DDB makes their own door seals that are not mounted on the doors -- they are mounted on the door frame on the car and replace the pinch welt ... I have a set on my square and they are actually quite nice...

| what is a "Seal, Check Strap" cause at ISPWest that looks like what I would call the Door Seal, but their "Door Seal" label is pointing at the ouside metal of the door. |

the check strap seal should be the rubber seal around the check strap (yeah, I know) but that is the metal piece that keeps the door from opening too far....
