| Post subject: | Windshield seals? |
Do any of you guys have a good, inexpensive, reliable source for the rubber mouldings around the windshield of my 64 Valiant? I am gonna be taking them out (front and back) to paint soon and I'm pretty sure the old ones are going to crack all to hell. I would just leave them in for now, but there's a little rust spot right under one of them, so i might as well do it right. Also, I need the window channels as well, so the rattling will stop driving me crazy. Thanks for all the help in advance. |

Don't buy any until you check out the original parts. I've restored several cars, and never had one that I couldn't use. They can look bad, but a can of lacquer thinner, a brush, a screwdriver to clean the grooves, and a bunch of rags can make an old seal look like new. |

Cool...I'll try that trick on the seals. Thanks. I know the window channels are bad though...my windows constantly rattle while i'm driving, especially when i hit bumps. Then again, the whole car rattles when I hit bumps, but hey...the louder the better, right? |

Are you talking about the "caterpiller hair" that goes on the door sil inside and outside of the window?

Couldn't tell ya on a 4 door application. I'm still trying to find the fuzzy stuff for my 2 door Duster myself. My doors don't have a full frame to hold window channels, so all I need is the caterpillar fur. Wish I knew the actual nomenclature for it
