I found 2 parts vans in my local area that had decent original ones. I am going that route. Drivers side are always worn on the inside but can be made to look pretty decent with windshield eurethane and super glue if you are patient and creative.

Just an update to this thread, Steele rubber products is now stocking the late window seals look to me like good moldings too with some detailed picks anyway. Just wondering i have a early style vent quarter windows would it be possible to modify these late style to fit my early I desperately need them as mine are cracking and falling apart.

if you have a chance to look at a newer a100 the change was the location of the pivot point i believe.

I just purchased the steel rubber gaskets, the are very nice. I am now having my frames restored and will be installing them soon. I will try to post pics when I do.

I got them installed today and they are a perfect fit! I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

What year is your vehicle? Looking for my '64, which appears compatible in their system. I badly need replacement as well.
Anyone have experience with the quality and fit of their other products such as the window felt weatherstrips or their other door gaskets? I need new seals all around.

I have a '65. Steele rubber products have both versions available. Truly it was a pleasure installing a quality part!

I received gaskets for the vent windows and driver/passenger window channels, but haven't had a chance to do the vent windows yet.
Was hoping to do it this past weekend, will see about the next weekend.
The window channel set I received is also from Steele. Quality is okay, some trimming was necessary to get a decent fix. Will try to get some pics of that up if it's helpful.

Exciting stuff for sure. I'm probably going to order a set for Hoopty next week along with door seals and belts. Been seeing alot of new stuff out there lately... Some not cheap but it's a start

A local body shop that is into vintage cars. Essentially they prepped and painted the frames with the correct finish.
