  I have posted this befor but haven't had any luck. Would like to hear from some guys that have replaced the quarter window seals in there '37 4 door slant backs, I know there are a fair amount of them on the road. If the original seals are not avaliabe what have you guys done to solve the problem? I've checked with all the venders, mabey I missed the right one. Any ideas appreciated.

  Do your windows pivot or are they fixed? I believe, but am not sure, that the seals are different.
Thanks,

  Metro Moulded Parts sells window seals by the foot. Contact them to see id they have the correct profile. Cut it to length and then super glue the ends together. Use the Craftsman Handicutter or similar tool to ge a good straight cut.

  If they are a fixed opening they should use a channel type rubber. Did you try Steele Rubber company or Metro Moulded Rubber Company. The channel type rubber can be bought by the foot.

  My windows pivot. I see repro rubber for 35-36 and 38-39, but not for 37. Any ideas? I chiseled out all the old rubber to have them woodgrained and now cannot find any rubber.
Thanks,
