Window Sweeps / Weatherstrips for a '75 98 Sedan?

I've been trying to find a set of the rubber window Sweeps that seal between the top of the door panel and the bottom of the window as the front driver's side one is particularly ratty and gets pulled down into the door anytime the window is rolled down.

Does anyone know of a good source for them? So far I've only been able to find generic "cut to fit" replacements of questionable quality.

These guys produce good stuff, but you might have to get creative. I'm doing the "beltline trim" aka window sweeps on my 1964 Dynamic 88. The material is top notch, but it comes in 6 foot lengths. I have a thread with pictures on the Large Oldsmobiles/eighty eight forum. I detailed the process as far as I did. I still have to to do the driver's side door, I plan to provide more pictures when do that door.

I found the uncut material you mentioned, however it doesn't look like it will work in my case. It seems like the '74-'76 full size cars use a large purpose-molded piece for the beltline that screws into place, and not a regular rubber sweep that clips into the trim.




I've not found any sets for a full-size sedan yet. If anyone has a lead, it would appreciated.

Restoration Specialties has a large number of different window sweep cross sections, with and without the stainless bead. They sell it by the foot or in 6 ft sticks.
