69 trunk weatherstrip

Beekeeper · Sep 25, 2019

I have been searching hard trying to find the trunk weatherstrip that has the inner lip that covers the trunk flange edge. Seems all I can come up with is the one that don’t have the inner lip. Can anyone help me with the info to get the right one. This is for a 69’ bee
Thanks

'69 bee, at least a Lynch Road car, didn't have said seal if I'm understanding your description correctly. I removed the OE off of mine during restoration and replaced it with the same shaped reproduction.

The top shape is the profile of it until right before the corners at the rear then it’s like the bottom shape around the corner and across the bottom on the tail panel.

I don’t think the one that was on it was original
But want to install the correct one. If I see it right in your pic the gasket should be the profile of the bottom shape the whole length of the gasket? And it’s a St.Louis
car

Mine was OE and had no lip on three sides, but some cars do.. I believe the Plymouth Sat/GTX to be one that does. Richard is the expert on seals @69bfan and Justin right behind him @moparnation74

Yea I spoke with Richard on it a good while back
when I was with him at Carlisle maybe he will chime in on it soon. I did get the style from him like you
show just wanna to be sure I have the correct one.
Thanks for your info.

Pretty sure the ones from Steele Rubber are correct they transition to the different profile at the bottom. I threw away the one I bought from Classic Industries to get the Steele Rubber because of this.

Hey thanks Jim!
How’s the coronet doing?

Great, it is buried in the wife's '63 Dart Ragtop parts right now

. Have not driven it much this year while we were pushing to get the Duster done for the daughter, then the wife suddenly got jealous and "needed" an old car to take to shows.

Steel rubber has it. That's what I used, pricy but right!
