Just want to pass along an excellent perfect match Top of Door Weatherstripping. Product is from Panteras by Wilkinson
www.panterasbywilkinson.com Right hand side part# 20202A Left hand side part# 20203A Started the installion at the very top corner of the doors. installed the corner first and then worked outward, used a little WD40 and the point of a small wooden paint brush. "Perfect"....Ps I also talked with a Pantera company in Colorado, the person tried to tell me that their weatherstripping is interchangeable between doors, "NOT!" left or right.....I would "NOT" recommend that product.....Mark. |

I did this job at a recent Tech session and I can say that the CO vendor is correct the weatehrstripping is interchangeable between doors. What the vendor supplies (maybe not Wilkinson) is longer than required and you trim it to length once installed, so yes it could be used on either door.

Julian; The weatherstripping you used,Did it already have the moulded 90degree corner? or was the corner unmoulded?. I can see how the product you used can be reverseable if there was no moulded corner. The product from Wilkinson came with a pre moulded corner. Very Professional on the final installion.....Mark.

It was an all in one piece, both lengths from the 90 corner the same length, so depending which end you start feeding from dictated which door it was for and then trim the excess off.

Stock weatherstripping of course had push-in filler-corners, not molded, and these 120-degree corners are hard to find nowadays. I tried early Capri weatherstripping when I painted our '72, and while the material was identical to stock (but with molded corners), the door sizes were just too different to work without cutting the rubber. Finally, I once was a 'consultant' for a friend with a bodyshop that was doing a hi-buck restoration on a pre-L. He wound up using three different thicknesses of door weatherstripping to get the doors to seal and shut easily, without wind-whistles when the car was moving. This isn't simple IMHO!
