New Window Seals Leaking
When I bought my '67 all thewindow weatherstripping was old and virtually non-existant. As a result the interior of the doors had quite a bit of rust.
I stripped the interior of the doors out and POR15'ed the door interior. I cleaned off all the "innards" (door regulator, channels,vent division bar, etc) and painted all of then with spray on rusoleum. I rebuilt the vent rubber/division bar assy. Then I put in new weatherstripping. The new vent window rubber sticks out too far over the door skin on the bottom but it does seal out water. The "anti-rattle" seals on the side windows do not. The inner felt is fine, but the outer rubber seal is too small. It does not extend out over the metal skin so there is a small gap between the matal and the rubber that rain can penetrate. Also, the rubber going towards the glass does not extend all the way to the glass. With the window rolled up there is a gap between the rubber and the glass that allows rain in. I'm sur I installed everything correctly, the rubber seal is just not wide enough in either horivontal direction. Are all the rubber window seals made this way? I can't imagine so, but without physically seeing ones from all the various parts suppliers I don't know how to compare them. Anyone who can direct me here? Its pretty dissapointing to do all that work just to watch rain flow out my coated drain holes. Thanks.....
