Window molding rubber stuff? 700 1987

Hi folks,

The rubber stuff that lines the upper part of my driver's side window track is torn and some of it's missing. At highway speeds it's pretty noisy. Anyone know where I can get more of this stuff?

Thanks,

Ari

    Ari,

    If your talking about the hard, plastic-like moulding strip that goes around the entire inner door well, you can find a million of them in a junk yard and it's easy to yank out and replace.

    If you're talking about the outer window scraper (rubber that "squeegee's" the glass as it goes up and down. The stuff that gets vertical cracks in it and disintegrates off into little one and two inch pieces), then you will almost NEVER find a good one in a junk yard. No way, no how.

    www.r-sportinternational.com makes brand new versions for $90 for all four doors. www.davebarton.com sells "new used " scrapers for about $55. I got daves version, in good shape but a little shrunken. I would do the new ones next time around.

    And if you're talking about the stuff in the actual door, that the window glass raises up into, then you'll have to look at a junker as mentioned, and good luck finding one that worth taking that stuff from. They're out there, but hard to find good shape rubber.

      I'm talking about the black rubber that the window fits into when fully up (option #3?). My uneducated brain tells me that I could pick up a 'roll' of this stuff, new, for cheap - since the rubber is prone to failure.

    Get it at a junk yard.

    I have one here which I replaced trying to get rid of the air leak
    in the drivers door. It turned out to be a bad regulator.

      Mine's actually gone at the top - so first thing's first, I need some more rubber molding.

        best to find one at your local junque emporium.
        you'll get valuable experience opening up the door for
        repairs.
        If you get stuck and want this one send your email adr.

        Bill
