Re: Wanted 69 Nova quarter glass weatherstrip

[Z28DL]

I'm in the final stage of restoring my 69 L78 Nova. I need NOS or correct quarter glass weatherstrip. Also, can someone let me know if the weatherstrip has an exposed chrome/stainless bead or is the original finished in black. Please let me know who supplies the best in quality and originality or where I can get a NOS set. I appreciate all the input the SYC members have given me.
Thanks,

Dave,

Needle in a haystack would be easier. The last guy I knew to be redoing them longer does so. Of course he stopped before I could get a set.....

If anyone else knows of a source let us know.

You want a black painted bead.

Good luck,
Greg

On a similar note, I'd also like to know if anyone can restore the upper glass channel for the rear quarter window?

Wayne,

I thought that was what Dave was looking for, hence my post. You used to be able to get the vertical and the top to rear restored. The last set I had done came with a bright bead that you needed to paint black. otherwise were nicely done.

The guy who was re doing them stopped, probably because they were such a pain to do.

I also have a set of the repop'd flexible versions. I think made by Ted Williams. Never installed them. They were not available for very long.

I have not seen a NOS top to rear. You can find the NOS verticals every now and again.

Thanks Greg for your input and advice. I've restored a number of cars and try to use NOS parts or have my originals restored. I guess there are only so many NOS parts and most of those are now on restored cars. I can't believe how bad the quality is on alot of the reproduction parts. Oh well, thats the hobby we're in and I'm glad I am.
Thanks again,
