Clever1 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Anyone know what the to seals/weatherstripping behind the quarter glass windows are called? One clips to the inside roof metal and the other screws to the outside roof metal. I need to locate these parts to move forward with my Monte. Any help would be great. I can e-mail pictures if someone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 As far as I know they are not reproduced yet. I had to get a nice used set when I had my car painted because my body guy lost mine. Â Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ADGTRUNKLID Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I bought new ones from Muscle cars only I think it was just the rubber replacement that slid into the molding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 71SSMC Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 They are not reproduced the inner ones uasally will soften up if you soak them in silicone spray for a couple days. Â The outer ones that screw to the back of the rain gutter are hard to find in good condition. I cut the old rubber off them and glued new rubber on them with 3 M trimadhesive. Â I found rubber on a car at the junk yard that was the same shape as the old stuff. Â They look factory and seal up nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hey Guys, Â Who all would buy them if I could get Steele Rubber to reproduce these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 In the Fisher Body book they are called Rear Vertical Inner and Outer Sealing Strips for "A 57 Styles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi,I've talked with Restoration Specialties about these at Spring Carsile this past spring.They said they could repop these if they had a pair that were'nt to damaged.Mine are not worth sending to them,the weatherstripping tore off and I didn't save them.Chevelle's are different,the seal is all one piece, front to back.There address is P.O. box 328 Windber,PA.15963 Tel.# 1-814-467-9842. They do alot of this type of work.I made a piece that looks kind of like it and taped it on the steel piece but have not sent them in.If you find something out I'd certainly would want a pair though.

Clever1 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I guess it goes without saying that I am in for a least one set. I have three out of the four pieces, so I guess I will have to fine a good used set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jim Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I haven't heard from John at Steele Rubber yet. I occasionaly send him a link to this post so he will see the demand for this item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi,Just on ebay, set for $49.99 starting bid.Says there in good shape.I think I'll wait for a new repop set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427monte Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I talked to Steele Rubber a couple of years ago about these. I sent him a piece from my weather stripping so he could get a good look at it. But he said they couldn't do them at that time. Maybe now if they see there is a small demand for them they will do them. Â Put me down for a few sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 FYI, The latest response.  "Jim, This can sometimes be a very long process. We are going to first make sure no one else has these parts. Then it will have to go before our new parts committee before. I have looked over the part with our engineer and it is a more costly & difficult part to produce than you would think. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything. John  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I hope they realize there is a huge demand. We already have like 20 sets sold from this thread alone. Â If they don't reproduce then I guess we'll have to have them custom made. Â Thanks for getting this far Jim. :)Maybe they'll do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I wouldnt consider 20 sets a huge demand as they wouldnt either. I know they want to sell thousands of these things to make money, the sad part is that Montes arent Chevelles, or Camaros, and there arent a lot out there left to make parts for. Maybe someday they will make these, but I am not holding my breath. Camaros are so popular, they make a whole new body for them now, and we cant even get a decent patch panel mass produced for our fenders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
