[Amc-list] Rambler American hard-top door seals

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

The hardtop-specific door seals should now be available from
Restoration Specialties. This is the odd shaped seals around the
crankup window, front and rear, and the leading edge of the wing
window. MONTHS ago I sent them my crapped up old ones, drawings and
worked out what will hopefully be a solution.

They won't be exactly stock (concours stock). The 63, anyways, part of
the seal is steel backed and screwed in, part is flexible and glued
in. These will be all glue-in. Should work 100% though.

It's been nearly 6 months of me calling every week or two. I have
sympathy though, it's not a big market, and it's a lot of detail work.
I'd have liked them by winter, but I'm not unhappy. They never lied to
me, it just took a long time. Nice small family run business. Probably
run about $5/foot I was told.

I should have mine "real soon now". I'll let you know how it works
out. Right now I have no seals (rotten, and sent to RS) so it's noisy
in there and leaks like crazy when it rains! New seals, just in time
for the dry season.

The rest of the door seals are easy enough to get.
