Hello all,

Does anyone know a good source for belt weatherstripping? I'm looking for the pieces that fit at the base of the window opening.

Thanks,
Keith

JC Whitney carries (or used to carry) the "universal" stuff. Seems I remember it comes in 4 foot sticks and several styles/shapes/sizes are available. Seems I remember using some on a 240Z I rebuilt several years back with good results...

I just bought some at the Volvo dealer in town for my 242Gt. There was a choice of chrome or black. They were not cheap, $130 for pair, but all of the ones I saw at pick and pull were as bad or worse then mine. None on Ebay for as long as I have looked. Now I just have to figure out how to install without wrecking em.

AFAIK that is named scraper moulding. There is an inside moulding, attached to the trim panel, and an outside one that is attached to the door metal. How it is attached varies with the year of the car.

It's that outside one that hardens and goes bad, or shrinks in length leaving large gaps for water, creatures, and pine needles/tree leaves.

They are not easily found. Cruise eBay, check with all the BBRD advertisers, and contact the Volvo Disassemblers that are around the country.

Good Luck,

Bob

Recently I was looking at these on my 85, and from what I can tell the inside is a dead match for the outside.

I need the outside as well, but at this time I am dead busted broke, and my wife just got laid off, so about all I can do is wait... ( I have been hunting work since early summer with nothing meaning full found to me yet..)

Probably a scrap yard would not want much for the inners, as they are more after weight, and the faster moving items as $$$$ items... Mac
