Topic: 37-39 Ford Draft Deflectors

  Have a set of Ford accessory Draft Deflectors on my 39 and the rubber seals are bad. Any suggestions as to what will work for replacement rubber? It almost looks like a piece of modern windshield wiper rubber. Thanks, John

  John: I might help to post a photo of the deflectors. I assume it was an aftermarket accessory.

  Bob, Ford offered draft deflectors from '37 to '39 at the grand price of $10.75. The '38 and '39 were the same. The rubber gasket is about and inch wide with a 90 degree ell type edge of about an 1/8" and goes the full length of the bottom metal surface. I may have a picture here somwhere. Ken

  Thanks, Ken. I don't recall those items. I suspect that Carpenter would have a better idea, as they make most of the rubber seals.
