Hi.

I need to purchase some New weatherstripping to stop rain from getting in. Sometimes it rains when i'm out driving...

Can someone recommend a good product / dealer?

The weatherstripping in the trunk need to be of the kind that leads the water down and out from the trunk / have some sort of a Canal /duct.

Looking forward to get some good advice.

Thanks

Steele Rubber. They have a site with the right stuff. I sat with Lynn at dinner one night in 1965 and he told me, that he had 20K in costs before he saw a nickel on his 1941 Stone guards, so they are concerned with authenticity.

I agree! They're great. I bought all the door and trunk weather stripping from them in addition to other various rubber parts. If you ask, they'll send you some samples so you can see if you like the part and how it fits in your car. They're easy to work with and the quality seems good.
If you're not in a rush, ask for one of their free catalogs and you can look up the various rubber pieces. There are many different sizes and variations from one to another.

I was not so happy with S----e, the door rubber was too firm and too thick to close the doors and I am changing to another company.  This is for a 1942 67 series.

What other company are You thinking of Gary? Could sure be interesting so see some different samples. I think I'll take my time asking for some samples.
