Chris Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Anyone found a source for the vertical seal for the rear of the quarter window? It's the outer one that is mounted to the quarter panel. Mine are pretty well cracked and deteriorated and the ones I've found are mostly in the same condition. Chris 71 350 4spd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 I suppose you mean the Quarter Jamb U-Rubbers? I bought mine from CJ Auto. $15.95 per pair www.cjauto.com ------------------ 71 Monte 383 "The Full Monty" 86 Monte LS ZZ4 "The Gray Mouse" Andreas' Monte Carlo Site Member NMCOA, FGMCC (Event Coordinator) --------------------------------------- "It ain't a car if it's not a Monte" [This message has been edited by Andreas (edited 03-06-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 6, 2001 Author Share Posted March 6, 2001 No, not the U-jamb rubbers. When looking at the quarter window from the outside there is a verticle piece of rubber that seals the window to the quarter panel. They are about 10-12 inches long. Most of the Monte's I have seen that have been repainted (mine included) have this piece painted too as it looks like a portion of the body. In order to remove it the inner sail panel needs to be removed as there are screws holding it on that can only be accessed from the inside of the car. I'll see if I can find the description and part number in the assembly manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 6, 2001 Author Share Posted March 6, 2001 For those of you with a Fisher Body Manual. The part I am looking foris called the "Quarter Window Rear Vertical Outer Sealing Strip" shown in figure 7.4 on page 7-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 The only Vertical seal that I knew about was the one between the door glass and the quarter window. I do not have a parts book so I can not look up the one you are talking about. I have to assume you are not talking about the Horizontal one which mounts on the quarter panel. If I get what you are talking about, it would be attached to what may be considered by some people as the Sail Panel which is the panel where the Monte Carlo script lettering is attached. If this is what you are talking about I will have to look at mine since I did not know there was a seal there. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 7, 2001 Author Share Posted March 7, 2001 71SS. No those are not the seals I am talking about. Those seal the quarter glass to the door glass. The ones I am talking about are the ones Rob mentioned. They seal the rear portion of the window to the sailpanel on the quarter. They can only be removed by taking off the earmuff panel (I mistakenly refered to it as the sailpanel) and removing the 2 screws that hold it in place. There is also an inner seal that is held on by clips. I've never seen this one repro'd either. Take a close look at your car and you'll see what I mean. I figured since I have the entire interior out and am installing a complete new one it would be a good time to replace the seals if available.

Guest Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 After looking at my Fischer Body manual and Year One's catalog on page 538, they offer side-glass sealing weather strips that seem to be what you want, but as a whole kit. The description is a little vague (doesn't mention the vertical piece), so give them a call at 800-932-7663 and ask about item RF775 (standard), EX7750 (deluxe), 0X7750 (deluxe outside only), or TW7020C (OEM). Hope this helps. ------------------ Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 14, 2001 Author Share Posted March 14, 2001 Adam, Those are the horizontal seals. It's apparent that very few have ever noticed these pieces or ever tried to remove/replace them. Try this. Roll down the rear window and feel the vertical area in the sail panel for the seals (inner and outer) that I am talking about. I've looked through most every catalog for 1st Gen Monte's and have yet to see them repro'd or NOS.. Looks like I'll repro'ing my own. If I had a digital camera I'd photograph them so all could see what I'm refering to. Chris 71 4spd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 I've got a digital camera. I'll try to get a picture posted for you later this afternoon. I know what part you're talking about and I can't remember having ever seen it listed anywhere either.

Guest Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 I just replaced all my new seals except for that piece. My new kit from Softseal was long enough to run from the front roof rail to the rear roof rail and down the window. Only thing is, is that that is NOT the same type of stripping. The piece you are looking for must be a special "single" piece. Mine are still in great shape so I just let it be.... Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 CHRIS, I know what you need. No one repro`s those pcs. Would you like used ones. I think I have a couple of sets laying around. They should be good. I took them off cars years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Hey Chris, did you end up finding any? They sound hard to find so let us know if there is a dealer we can use to get them. ------------------ Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Chris, I went to the scrap yard here and found two sets of the seals. I can't say they are in excellent shape, but they seem okay. If you still need some, I can go get them for you. ------------------ Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2001 Share Posted April 20, 2001 if anybody finds any of these seals on a car in a junk yard, grab them , I have looked on many cars here in MI but they are almost always rotted or brittel. When you try to get them off they fall apart. Help out the other Monte Carlo owners, save those hard to replace parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
