P1800 weatherstripping question

[Pat Drnec]

I'm looking at a 69 P1800S - a lot of the weatherstripping is shot. As
you can tell by my sig, I play mainly with Studebakers. Can anyone tell
me if rubber is available for this car?

Thanks in advance

Pat

You bet Pat...Studies and old Volvos here too, as you know. It's those
round fenders. Jump on over at the yahoo group's 1800 list. You can
read without joining. Contact me off-list and I'll send you a couple
of good vendors I've used.

Is it weatherstripping around the windows, like the windshield or back
window or is it door wheatherstripping? If you're friends with a parts
store you might be able to find something to "fit". I had a Sport Wagon
until about two years ago that I was able to match up some door
weatherstrip from a couple of American cars.
By the way, I'm selling my Dad's old Facel Vega. Only 60K and a Hemi
Engine...Walnut is flawless.

Is the rubber new or has it been laying around for years? That was my
major problem. Some of the rubber fell apart as soon as it came out of
the plastic bag.
