1966 Oldsmobile Weatherstripping

Hello all,
I have a 1966 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Holiday Sedan and the weatherstripping around the doors and windows are original, cracked, deteriorated, etc.

We had our first snowfall and water is started to seep in and soak into the door panels. Are there any alternatives to preventing water from seeping in other than replacing the weatherstripping?

I called Classic Industries and Original Parts Group and neither of them have weatherstripping for the Olds I have.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

A car cover or tarp is your solution til you get new weather stripping installed.

You can type in your auto info to verify they make it. I did a quick check and SR seems to make it. SR is the most comprehensive maker of weatherstripping. Original Parts Group is a re-seller. The big 3 manufacturers are Soft Seal, Metro and Steele Rubber.

You don't need to call them. Just go to their website and order it.

From the Steele website.

Metro Molded Parts has lots of stuff, too.

As does Rubber the Right Way.

Of course, don't forget Fusick, but Fusick just resells rubber made by other companies.
