I'm in need of a way to contact Einstyn for weather stripping and window channel parts for my Vista Cruiser. I have tried contacting them thru E-mails over the last 8 months with no luck. The car is coming home this week and would love a contact number . (Blue Vista if you have a different source please let me know.) Thanks for any help , Tom ...

Just a little late.
Here it is anyway.


Pete/Einstyn's sells on Ebay, should be able to get in touch with him through there.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVE...s#ht_500wt_942

He's also the station wagon and four door forum moderator on Team Chevelle, His name is FO_FDYFO, his e mail on there is; wagons@chevelles.com.
His last post was on 4/6 so he should be around.
Good place to find parts common to the A body wagons.

Fusick has the outer tailgate window sweeps and the inner and outer side window sweeps now, a lot of other new Vista stuff too.

http://www.fusick.com

Metro Moulded Parts is selling the tailgate seals now.

http://www.metrommp.com/

Pete may still be only one with the tailgate window seal and rear side door glass run channels, think that T-gate seal at Metro is his product.
I wonder how the tailgate glass run channels with the molded ends he's been working on are going?

I purchased virtually everything Pete had to offer for my '70 flattop restoration. He does have a great product, but I am fairly certain that the wagon accessory parts thing is a secondary income for him. He is busy and can be difficult to get a hold of, then again maybe he is just scatterbrained......however his products are good. Perhaps we Rocketheads take a backseat to his bowtie brothers. Either way some patience will likely reward you with a good product.

If you cannot get a response for that long, I would suggest looking into another source, particularly a regular supplier. And if they do not have a phone number, i would further that idea.
I have been down that route before several times. You cannot force someone to to business with you, even though I do not understand the reasoning behind all that.

There is no other source for some of the parts, he has exclusive rights to them, has the tooling done and has them made or makes them himself.
I had no problem getting stuff from him last Spring?
He does have a regular job, says he's an advanced mechanical weapons engineer on his "about me" page on Team Chebelle.
He has and does some cool stuff.
