JSabah Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 My '49 Plymouth Woody is out of paint and I will be starting to put it back together. My Hinge pillar weatherstrip is badly deteriorated and not usable. According to Andy B, it is no longer made and they do not have anything to replace it with. It looks to be a triangular section mounted on a metal strip that has tabs for screws. Any ideas of where to find NOS or what to use? Here are some pics of what I have left and where it goes. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49roadster Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I got them from Steele about 20 yr. ago and they were about $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSabah Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 LazyK the listing shows that these are 32” long and what is left of mine -the metal which should give the correct length is 30”. Since there are tabs for the screws on the ends, it doesn’t seem that trimming is an option. 49roadster I’ll look at Steele on line but can you tell me the length of yours?
