I have been looking real hard for a long time for roof rail weatherstrip for both of my '52 Bell's.? I have searched through the Steele catalog with no luck.? They do have it for convertibles ?? Would that fit ?? Or, does anyone know where I can find the correct weatherstrip, or what else might work ?
The rear quarter windows and the main door glass is the same as the convertible, but the folding top hinges above the door, so that weatherstrip is in two pieces on the convertible. The top of the vent pane is flat on the convertible, not curved. The only piece that would be an exact fit would be the quarter window strip.
If this material is sold by the foot, it would only be necessary to get a piece sufficiently long to go the whole distance. I have seen this listed for the convert. and I believe it was the Steele catalogue.
I was talking to a Steele rep on the phone one day and he was able to get me a couple of pieces I needed that were not in the catalog. You might try calling and talking to someone. I found them very helpful. Good Luck
Thanks for the info - I will call them tomorrow (Monday). Oh, and the photo is not one of my cars. This is one I found in the woods up in Vermont that was advertised for parts - wasn't a thing that was usable.
Steel Catalogue, 2005, page 359 item 70-055-65 looks like what you need at $9.30 per foot, it had better be.
