    1929 Dodge window seal?

    in Dodge & Dodge Brothers

    Posted

    Steele rubber products sells a similar product as Meyers does but has a little larger 'flap' of rubber that will seal window to exterior of body as the 'origonal ' one did.

    My 29 DA had this 'flap' of rubber as one piece with the chanel rubber, all my side windows had this as origonal including 1/4 windows.

    steele rubber also sells the top rubber bump rubber, the 'T' rubber for front windshield as well.

    Thanks very much Rick, enjoyed your storey, I too have a long storey I'll share when my car is complete, I live east of edmonton alberta, there are still lots of old carcues in the woods and fields around here.

    would love to see your car someday.

    I do have the metal trim that goes around perimeter, just not in picture.

    The metal trim on my car sat on top of car not in ' drop down detail as shown in perimeter edge detail.'

    I was also instructed to use canvas instead of 'chicken wire ' and welt padding atop of that and then the top material over all that. 

    I see the size of table you used which looks like it worked well as top is curved and hanging over edge of table would be perfect to keep top flat and still be able to staple material.

    I have attached canvas and will post pics once I've attached trim pieces.

    I still have origonal wood top perimeter frame but a friend wanted to reproduce a new one cause he's into steaming wood so why not and it turned out PERFECT to origonal.

    only two origonal wood cross bows that mount ahead of each metal bow survived the test of time .These I did not reuse or duplicate mostly due to lack of strength therefore I added bows under the metal ones for strength and to attach headliner to.Pics to follow.

    Thank you for the replys, the knowledge on this site as well as the stories are helpful, educational and informative.

    No Christmas should go by without investing in an old car! An old car buddy and I co-purchased this one Christmas Eve, car has been sitting in this spot for 20+ years behind a barn, complete but rough, has a lot of spares stored elsewhere including seats, lights, etc. Took these photos when I first found car in Nov 2008. Not sure what we will do with it. may re-sell in spring. Appears sidemount fenders may be from another Dodge, no sign of hardware or holes for same. Also split rear bumper suggests may have had rear mount spare originally. Anyone know if trunk rack is factory Dodge? HARD TO PUT IN A STOCKING!

    window wiper

    What type of window wiper was used on a1929 Dodge DA sedan?

    My windshield Frame has three holes in it on drivers side, centre hole larger than two on each side.

    Was a hand operated wiper used and if so does anyone have a picture of one.

    thanks for replys.

    Also installing top insert, need to re-curve the four metal bows, does any one know the curve elevation on centre?
