1967 442 4 speed

I am looking for some info on what window felts I should order for my 1967 442! OPGI sells them with or with out special moldings. I believe mine has the special rubber molding, it runs the length of my door! But OPGI says that the rubber molding is an extra and that they do not carry it! does anyone know if this Item is even available or should I just order the window felt with out special molding?

The "special molding" is the RPO B85 anodized aluminum along the beltline. Does your car have these or not? A photo of your car would help us provide you with useful info.

This is what the B85 moldings look like.

You need to get the right ones as Conv are different than Hardtop and also different from a Post Car called a sedan by the companies that reproduce the window felts. Then there are OEM style and reproduced. The cheaper repro ones typically have a flat chrome bead while the OEM style ones have the round bead as original. I get mine from The Parts Place. And yes the cars with special moldings as said are different also.

Good thing it doesn’t have the reveal molding because you can’t get felts for those..
