Hi from New Zealand,
The much loved '65 Cutlass Sports Coupe 330 V8 that I purchased last year doesn't have any exterior weather seals for the door window glass or side windows.I imagine that the seals are part rubber and stainless steel trim, correct? I have attached 2 images which show what seem to be mounting slots for the trims on the inside of the door and rear window.The inner glass seals are there on both and the 1/4 light windows have new seals so it's just the outers I need.
What are these trims called and where is the best place to buy some? I also need a replacement glovebox and s new wiper motor which I will post about also.
Cheers

They are called "window felts" or "window fuzzies". They are available at most resto supply houses. Some sell 2 at different prices, buy the more expensive ones as they fit better.

Steele rubber parts for quality. OPGI is just plain expensive for the same parts others sell for less.

They're also called window "sweeps." There are both inner and outer sweeps.

Scroll down to part numbers 10-035X and 10-048X on this page.

You can get all kinds of other seals and weatherstrips there, too.

I have purchased from this company in the past with no problems. I don't know if they ship internationally.

Thanks for your post and help.The 10-035X is, as the description says an "inner" product and the other isn't right but I have contacted them so I hope to hear back from them soon. I have since found 2 images of the same car as mine showing the outer (and inner) ss metal strips running along the door edge.They sure look wider than the what I have on the inner and wider than on the rubbertherightway website.I have attached the relevant image I found.What do you think, wider than 5/16ths?

Hopefully the companies named will ship internationally, I know Rock Auto do, and they have a good reputation over here for reliable service, and they have a record of standing by their reputation by helping fix delivery problems as I can personally attest to.

Thanks Roger, I'm sorry I missed your post somehow previouslyy..Darn, I just bought a new 2 speed wiper motor from Rock Auto which is sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted.I will see what they have as they are close to my NZ shipping company in Oregon.
