Weather Stripping and Seals Location

Hey guys, with my new Vintage Air system installed I realized it doesn't have the cooling efficiency it should have due to weather stripping and seals missing. But before I can order the CORRECT ones....I need help locating the ones I need. If anyone can send me a link or diagrams pointing out the exact names of the exact location of where all the seals are it would be greatly appreciated!! I've looked all over and can't find it online. Or any type of manuals for restoration

Clouds in the sky. Chrystal ball is malfunctioning.
Year and model? Maybe a couple more details?

There is nothing magic about what you need. You just need a door weatherstrip kit. They are readily available for your car from any of the rubber seal vendors like Metro Molded Parts, Soffseal, Rubber the Right Way, Steele Rubber products, and others.


As an example, here's what Steele has.

You can also just walk into your nearest Autozone, O'Reilly's, NAPA, or whatever, as weatherstrips are available there as well. They're just resellers of the major brands, but it's another, local source.

Here's Autozone's entry for your car. They're selling Metro rubber seals.

The best manuals are the Olds Chassis Service Manual for 1969 and the Fisher Body Manual for that year. The body manual will have weatherstrip information in it. Both can be gotten on ebay.
