Fixed side glass in cargo area

[petew]

I need to find replacement window seals for the fixed side glass in the cargo area of my 57 Country sedan wagon. I can't seem to find it in any of the usual vendors catalogs. Anybody have any ideas ?

Look at Steel, they have many "universal" seals and they have one that should work well for what you need.  I believe they are in the list of vendors.

They weren't on the list, but should have been. They are now. Thanks
I assume you looked at Carpenters as well?

Looked in both catalogs (Steele and Carpenter but didn't find them. I'll give both vendors a call.

No for Steele and no for Carpenter. Trying Restoration Specialties next..

You're not going to find direct replacements....you have to use the universal...my 60 wagon uses a very similar seal to the 57 and it should work in your application!

Blue blood , where did you find the seals and do you have a part number?

We deleted the seals and used a bead of windshield urethane on the inside to bond the new glass in.  We masked it up nice and cleaned any squeeze out up while the urethane was still wet.

It worked and looked very good when we finished.  It is the yellow and white wagon that Ralph Alex drives now.

Look through these, there are a couple that should work in the 57.  If not the urethane is a good alternative.

MAC's has the seals for sale. I just bought a set (both sides) but I have not yet put them in. Need to get the glass first. From the invoice:

Location: M2H-687-B
Part No: 64-29956
Description: Rear Quarter Side Window Seal / Station Wagon USA B7A-7929904-A

Lists from several suppliers, including MAC's, at $50. I got it during the 15% off glass sale and saved a bit.
