    I don't recall seeing a source for the rubber seal around the dog house lid. (Mine's an Econo.) Any suggestions?

    Southern , Uh in times past , I used to call a company called Metro Rubber supply . They used to vend at the Pate Texas swap meet when they were still down in Benbrook Texas in the Pate transportation grounds/ estate. Since then , Ive not needed what they have as the stuff i wind up restoring now , thankfully , Ive had suppliers . You can try Lynn Steel rubber in North carolina and mabye Stacy Brown at Antique Auto Supply in Arllington Texas too. Scrubba

    I went to my local O'Reilly Auto Parts last month to see what they might have for weatherstripping. I ended up buying a package of part number CRD 01080, which contained 10 feet (about 5 inches too much). We were going on what turned out to be a 750 mile trip, so I wanted to seal the lid (mostly Martha's side!) For 24.99 I was willing to see if it would work out. While I had the lid off installing the seal I was thinking to myself that there is no way this is going to work. The seal seemed like it was too big and I was wondering how I could trim it to size. I test fit the lid, and to my surprise, it fit great! I wish I had done this long ago!

    Particulars of the weatherstrip:
    Mfg by Carrand Companies
    Sold as "Super-stik" weatherstrip
    Dimensions: .65" thick x .75 wide x 10' long
