I've done some searches on here and checked out the links refferenced but still no luck. I need a set of pillar post weatherstrip channels for my 67 convert. Any body out there carry these or can I reassemble witout them ???

I don't believe they're reproduced yet so you'll have to get them used. You can wait until the car is done to put them on.

You can get coupe ones and cut them down, about an inch off the top. :)

I found a used set some time ago, but have never understood how they attach. I havent tried recently as I havent loaded glass in yet after paint. Have not seen them in asm manual. Any clues?

They screw on with small button head phillips screws, then you pop the rubber moulding into them.

Oh thanks Jim

those things

Im thinking of a small weatherstrip seal that goes between pillar and wing window. It is separate from the top rail seal.

Are you saying to buy an extra set of pillar post weatherstrips for coupes and cut off the rubber and use the metal as a channel for my convert ???

The rubber is different, but the metal is the same, just shorter on top. I used an original to compare to. If you dont have an original for a template, it will be a little tough to know where to cut. :)

I had another person suggest buying the coupe drip rail and cuting it down to just the channel for the weatherstrip. Any thoughts on this ???
