Weather strip

[Matt]

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew where to buy any weatherstripping for car? Also I took the front window and rear window out because I had to fix some rust spots. Where could I find new window seals do I can put the windows back in?

I looked at this site, and was reading some back postings from the group.  There sounds like there is some trouble here.

All;
Often rubber from some of the on line sites is from another outlet.  J.C. Whitney has an extensive line and offers warranted products at what seems to be about half the price as what is listed on the firs site.  Ask the question, "Was it made for the Honda 600"  or is it something that is a general product that you will have to find some work around to get it to work.  Also go to Metro Molded Parts at http://www.metrommp.com/ and go to the universal listings, there you will find products that are sold by the foot.  Why buy 25 ft. when you will only need 6 ft.
Matt surf the net, see what is out there.
Some of the upstart sites do the same and then sell for a profit.
    Here is the key for Sedan side window Weather strip.  I looked into making it and there is not enough high point restorers for the Honda 600 to meet the minimum order, (it just costs to much).  What Honda did is make the body flat and curve the front and rear ends of the glass (the curve is from three eights to about a half inch from the body at the highest point).  To keep it from whistling and leaking they put a length of one half inch dia. 4 inch long foam rubber under the contact edge of the weather-strip to the glass frame of the window.  This pushed the weather strip up into the curve of the glass.   So none of the universal stuff will work unless you put some rubber under the weather strip to make it complete the seal.  So when these on line guys put out bad information on their sites saying this will work, they just didn't do their home work.  And you as the consumer take it in your sit-upon.  Or drive around with leaks and whistles all day long.
    The same goes with that stuff that is listed for your Sedan Trunk, it won't make the corners and allow a sealing edge.  I found that the stick on foam rubber offered at your local Home Depot to work just fine and makes a great seal.  Costs about a tenth of what this is being sold for.

Bill Thanks for the info.  It's nice to find some knowing in the hobby.  You said JCW and Metro Molded are a good sources, do you have a weather strip you use?  Part number?
