    MOST OF THE LOCAL WINSHILD SHOPS IN YOUR AREA WILL HAVE THE PLASTIC CHROME WELT STRIPS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. IF YOU ARE BUYING NEW RUBBER MOLDING ASK THAT SUPPLIER IF THEY HAVE IT. OR TRY J.C. WITTNEY. THAT IS SOMTHING ON MY TO DO LIST AS WELL

    Try Steele Rubber - this is the only part of many that I bought from them that is actually any good....

    I bought some stuff from Steele, and only the windshield rubber and lock strips were any use.
    They have listings for 1/4 window rubbers and beltline strips - but these are total CRAP.

    Restoration Specialties has it, but its on backorder. They say they get it from Precision Gasket, i'm trying to find out if i can buy staright from them. It'll probably be cheaper.

    They said they have been out for the last 6 months and they don't know when it's coming in.

    I'm getting the windshield stuff with the chrome locking strip from Yahoo Group George.
