Hi all, it's probably my lack of experience using the search engine here but I can't find what vendor would be the best for finding the door and trunk weatherstrip seal moldings for my 55 Super 88 4dr. sedan. I could use some guidance and thanks in advance.

 

Fusicks has them.

 

Thanks redoldsman I'll check them out

 

This is another one you might check out.

The ones that are on my 4 Dr. Holiday are from Steel Rubber Co. and the fit is good and are holding up well.I think Fusick's would be of good quality also. Good luck, Larry

 

I recently bought everything from a website called "rubbertherightway.com". Most was in STEELE RUBBER packages. Everything installed nice except that the door pieces were about 7" too short. Think they'll fit the 4 door perfect. They sent a piece and I spliced it in at the bottom.

Another issue I had was the Steele Rubber trunk seal is soooooo stiff, I'm a month in and still can get my trunk lid to close nice. It's sitting on the highest adjustment and I can barely get it to close. Not sure what I'm going to if it doesn't settle down......

If you can find a trunk seal that is not from STEELE, get it. I usually only use Metro product, but they clearly don't see money to be made supporting these cars.

 

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate you taking the time to help out 👍🏻

 

You are very welcome. That is what this place is all about, helping each other.

 

Amen to that.

 

Late reply! But how did you with the trunk weatherstrip? I got one from fusick for my 55 and I cannot get the boot to shut? Seems to be too thick or something

Cheers

 

Mine's been on there for a couple of months and it is still a pain to close. I am working on getting the car running so I'm just letting it compress with the lid closed. I think I may also need to move the lid rearward a tiny bit which may help.

All in all, pretty disappointed in that weatherstrip. Have replaced a bunch of these on different cars and never had this issue.

Good luck!

 

Thanks mate, I cant even get my trunk to shut? I have taken the rubber off already as I thought I put it on the wrong way.. I think I may go to a more generic weatherstrip as I already forked out $160 for this one

Cheers

Dan

 

I believe I used a generic one on my 55. I got it off the shelf from Napa, worked fine.... Tedd
