Tmac Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I am trying to find these quarter window seals and and i don't really know what i am looking for (proper name i guess is the problem.) if you can not tell from the pics, (horrible photographer) it is the rear outer quarter window seal. i am looking for them but not feeling confident with the little/poor pics provided on the sites im looking. tired of ordering and shipping twice to get the right part. Sooooo any help /part number/vendor would be appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The outer is being made: https://metrommp.com/rear_vertical_quarter_window_sealouter_7072_monte_carlo_cutlass_supreme_alp_5002q/ The inner is not currently being reproduced, but I'm working on getting Metro to make them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're for the Cutlass as well, but it appears they're a lot cheaper than what Metro is selling them for. Looks like I got them from their ebay store too. I don't know if the ones Metro makes are better/softer than what Fusick sells though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/152659902704 The inners I got from SoffSeal. They're not an exact match for the Monte, but the only thing I could find that even worked. These only have 2 retaining clips vs. the 3 that were on my car. I did try to remove clips from my originals to install on the new seal, but it was a complete P.I.T.A. They will clip on the car as purchased though. The rubber section matched up real well to the originals, and they look/function fine on the car. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SFT-5023 or from the rest of the suppliers: Google search results Note: SS-396 does say they fit 70-72 Chevelle & Monte (despite what I mentioned above about the clips), and they also fit Buick Skylark & GS. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst FYI Joes' link did lead me to a suitable replacement for the inners. Softseal SS-5023. First Place auto parts had them in stock. i think they are for a Skylark. Thanks for the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 If those are for a Chevelle the clips don't line up like the stock seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 50 minutes ago, Tmac said: I believe they only have 2 clips and i think the Monte has 3? Yes, as I stated earlier, and they will clip on the body and work. I still played around and tried to replicate the original clip positions. Unfortunately, trying to remove the original clips to mount on the new seals was just a time consuming exercise in futility. The clips are spring steel, so the tabs are brittle and snap off making it even more frustrating. Plus, they are the only available option at present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did order the Fusick ones, cheaper and the shipping was 1/2 as much also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
