All I have is an old (2003) catalog from Original Parts Group where a pair of repro door weatherstripping is listed at $89.95, now that may have gone up since then. You may also want to check with The El Camino Store in California, they advertize their repro pair for $79.95.

Try www.e-weatherstrip.com.

They usually have the cheapest price of anyplace I have seen.

I got mine from www.soffseal.com, they are perfect. I'm not sure how the compare in price to other suppliers.

NO way guys.. under 10 bucks at meijers.. they're the universal kind and just stick there but they work great for on the windows on my '76.. just get them positioned right.. you'll need two sets to get both sides.. might only be a temporary fix, or maybe not.. but it stopped michigan from raining on my brand new sound deadening and new carpet..

It looks like Meijer is local to Michigan and not available in Oklahoma :( . Anyway, did you use this for the "squeegee" piece at the top of the door where the glass goes in and out? Can you get a picture or two to show us? If it's the same thing I'm thinking of, that sounds like what I'd like to do rather than spend something like $290 for a set of window felts.
If not, never mind! :)

No, not window felts, just plain weather stripping around the door. Though I'll keep my eye open becuase i think i saw a universal window felt kit somewhere.. now sure how well they'd work or if you'd have to trim them or something.. But i'll get back to you on that.

What?.. no meijers.. how do you guys survive.. no wonder it's called the "wild west"

WROR,
Shucks y'all! Let me know if you find some universal window felts. I've been looking for a cheaper alternative than the $290 set but with no success.
Thanks for looking out for a fellow 4th genner!

Ian,
I am going to give you the hook up that no one yet has mentioned, which surprisingly enough is the easiest and most common- EBAY!!

I have purchased these seals this year for three different restorations one 83, two 84s and have all times found both the door and window kits(softseal) for under 170.00, and both the inner and outer window felts for under 100.00 ! For the sake of creating an infraction for advertizing, email me and I can provide you the seller's info that will take care of you.

Nothing against these other merchants, but we are talking about getting the Best Price and best quality, yes?
....:cool:
