Weather seal problems

Hello all,,

I have a 1967 Olds 98 LS 4dr. I cant find the weather seal that runs up the (A) piller across roof line and down the (B) Piller,, and then up the (B) piller and across the roof to the (C) piller for the rear door seal,,

this car does not have frame around the door top,, the glass closes against the rubb seal on all 4 doors,, the center post does run to the roof line and seperates the doors,,


Please Help,

Thank You

Have you checked Fusicks or Steele Rubber?

Your model style is a Ninety Eight Holiday Sedan (holiday is Olds-speak for "hardtop"). Unfortunately, this is not a popular car to restore, and few of the rubber parts unique to this body style are reproduced. Steele only lists a handful of pieces, none of them are the roof rail weatherstrip described above. I would call Steele directly and talk to them. You may need to cut and paste two door parts to fit your four door. Sorry.

This car is actually a "pillared hardtop" bodystyle 8669. It has no frames around door windows as a true four-door sedan would, but has a B post. GM was playing catchup to Lincoln when they introduced this elegant sedan body style, as Lincoln had already had it several years and had wild success with it.

Buick and Cadillac also used this bodystyle so you may be able to find it listed under those applications. You HAVE to specify it's a pillared hardtop since Fisher Body referred to all four-door sedans as "69".

I know Fusicks and Steel Rubber has all the pieces for my 4 door hardtop. They also ahd it for my 64 98. Hopefully they should have what you need.
