Title: weatherstripping
Post by: 57 imposter on 2011-11-30 15:54
Has anyone found a source for divider bars or the window run to reline my existing ones? I have checked with Carpenter and Dearborne and numerous web sites but am having no luck. the car is a two door post. Haven't taken anything apart yet so mine could be ok but I really doubt that they are.  Thanks for any help

You might try a little trick I used on the 62 Bird I built.  Clean the existing liner out of the channel.  Get it "paint ready" clean.  Then put in the loop protion of velcro, use a roller for putting new rubber in screen windows to force it into the bottom and corners of the channel.  Use a razor to trim the excess off each side.  A little practice will show you how much pressure to put on the blade to cleanly cut the loop up tight against the stainless bead.  A 25 ft. roll was like 5 bucks.

Jerry we have an uhplostery supply place here in town, they have all sorts of stuff.  The velcro is in a roll, 2" wide, self adhesive (really, really sticky), both the hook and loop are sold seperately.
