I am having a heck of a time finding window sweeps for the driver and passenger windows. Does anyone have suggestions where to find these? Can I use a universal sweep? Also, the driver's side window needs to be attached to the crank mechanism. What type of adhesive should I use for attaching the glass to the bracket? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Have you tried Fusick, Restoration Specialties, Year One, Parts USA?...as for the glass it was set in the track with setting tape. I just did the side glass on my 442, used 1/16 tape and furniture clamps to squeeze the glass into the channel.

I think that minimally, you will have to buy a full set of the 4 outer weatherstrips (doors and 1/4 windows). You can also buy the full set of 8 inner and outer pieces. There are different types as well, a flat style that does not look factory correct and others with a rolled bead as OEM. Oddly, the price doesn't usually differ that much between the OEM and aftermarket style. Finally, for your year, I think there are yet different sweeps for cars that have the thick reveal molding at the top edge of the doors (also called the "special" molding?), something to keep in mind as well when ordering from the various vendors.

Fusick has them! I previously tried year one - no luck. It looks like Fusick will be a great resource. Thanks for the info on the tape too. Been in the Olds family for only 4 month so still learning.
