What are they called & where can I buy some?
Hi from New Zealand,
The much loved '65 Cutlass Sports Coupe 330 V8 that I purchased last year doesn't have any exterior weather seals for the door window glass or side windows.I imagine that the seals are part rubber and stainless steel trim, correct? I have attached 2 images which show what seem to be mounting slots for the trims on the inside of the door and rear window.The inner glass seals are there on both and the 1/4 light windows have new seals so it's just the outers I need.
What are these trims called and where is the best place to buy some? I also need a replacement glovebox and s new wiper motor which I will post about also.
Cheers

They are called "window felts" or "window fuzzies". They are available at most resto supply houses. Some sell 2 at different prices, buy the more expensive ones as they fit better.

Steele rubber parts for quality. OPGI is just plain expensive for the same parts others sell for less.

They're also called window "sweeps." There are both inner and outer sweeps.
Scroll down to part numbers 10-035X and 10-048X on this page.

You can get all kinds of other seals and weatherstrips there, too.
I have purchased from this company in the past with no problems. I don't know if they ship internationally.

Hopefully the companies named will ship internationally, I know Rock Auto do, and they have a good reputation over here for reliable service, and they have a record of standing by their reputation by helping fix delivery problems as I can personally attest to.
