Trunk Weatherstrip

Post by 74roadbird » Mon Nov 07, 2011 10:32 pm

Anybody know (or have pic) of what the trunk weatherstrip should look like? I've seen the "D" shape that fits in the gutter, but I thought the strip was supposed to go over the edge of it. 30+ years has dulled my memory a bit though! She's basically done except for the weatherstrip on the trunk. After 30 years of carefully keeping track of my headlight bezels and a NOS set od sill plates, they suddenly disappeared about 6 weeks ago. I thought I took them to the shop but they can't find them. My old sills are still ok, but anybody know where I can get a set of headlight bezels? They don't need to be perfect, but I'm not ready to pay $125 each for a set with dings to a bone yard. At least not until I definitely can't locate my pair!

Thanks Mark! The pics do the job for me!!

ps: I was laid up for a while medically, but before that I located my original headlight bezels!! I think I know where I can find the sill plates also. I appreciate everybody's help/input. My 74 now has the Amsoil Z-Rod oil in it. I'll let you know next spring how it works.
