Replacement weatherstripping?
So my '79 GH's weatherstripping has crapped itself. The ones along the top won't seal up against the window propery (Useful for breaking into the car when a friend locked it with the keys inside
) and the sidepillar dealies running between the front and rear windows have dryrotted so bad that I'm surprised they're holding up. Any ideas where I can find replacements, and how much it's likely to set me back?

Re: Replacement weatherstripping?
Get yourself a set off a later Scorp including the rear glass and the winding mechanism. I looked around for quite a while with no luck.
From the GJ onward, the rubber section between the 2 windows is all rubber, no steel to rust out like yours.
PS: Check the nylon wheels on the front winding mechanisms, they are usually broken, which will allow the windows to flop round quite a bit. If they are stuffed, same advice as above.
Cheers.

Ta mate, I'll look into tracking down a GJ or something for parts. Which could prove rather less than fun.
