On the subject of door rubber,  it has been my experience that when one goes to Steele or Restoration Specialty, etc,  you get a variety of different extruded rubber weatherstrip profiles, most with the application description: "fits many 1940's MoPars"...

That isn't too helpful for someone whose car is missing the original weather-seals, or what is there has turned to shapeless blobs of fossilized rubber...

 

It would be nice if and when someone does find the correct rubber for a given application, ie: 1941-'48 - trunk seal, all sedans;  or 1941-'48 door weatherseal - all 4-door sedans,  and so-on,  if they could post a vendor  / part number.

Perhaps we could make a "stickie" for such a purpose ?

I think that would be a great idea!
