Series 1 or 2 window weather strip

[Fordtootsie]

I am looking for the Exterior and Interior window weather strips and the clips that hold them in place. Alpine west had them listed in there catalog but Sue has retired.

If I were you I would just install the soft felt ones on the inside. On the outside it's better to install the later rubber ones...

Sunbeam Specialties carries all of it.

Yup.. the SI/II felt anti rattle strips are a terrible system for the exterior seal.. I fitted the later style rubber blade seals to stop water running down into the door .. also finishes the door to window joint I'm a nice way than the recess the felts leave.

Indeed, that's the point Michael. Water ingress from the outside will make the doors rot away in short time. Wonder what Rootes engineering thought when designing the outer "weather" seals on the S1. Furthermore the clips are a nightmare and will bite into the paintwork. That's why I fitted my outer rubber seals with small countersunk self tapping screws...

Silly me, my 1962 Harrington LeMans only had the felt on the outside, and assumed that the outer weather seals had just been lost. Could not see how they would be mounted though.... A rather poor design. Glad my door bottoms are not rusted out

I put the later ones on my Sll with the late clips. They seem to be holding well.
