What seals are still available?

Post by StolenFox »

Since the Colorado winter is now upon us, the paint and body are on hold. Figured its a good time to take care of little projects like seals. Are the window track seals, exterior window "wiper" seals and the sunroof seal still available?

If so, who has the best price on this stuff?

Thanks!

I just bought a set of wipers and window guides/seals from BluntTech, and they weren't too bad. About $14 each for the wipers/weather strip and $45 each for the window guides.

All seals except for the hood seal and the "edge protection" seals with the fuzzies on the body are still available new.

Damn, I think mine have wear holes in them. Are the purpose only to protect the occupants from the pinchweld seams? The seals that are mounted to the doors themselves do the actual sealing?

Thanks!

also, if the fuzzy linings are starting to fall down and look horrible, you can peel them back and just expose the black rubber underneath. IMO, it looks better than tattered fabric.
