1938 Buick Coupe Weatherseal

[Guest locoincolo]

I purchased a strip of trunk weatherseal for my coupe from Bob's. It's rectangular profile, glues in, and I assume attaches inside the "groove" around the trunk lid edge.

Is there a trunk gutter seal for this car? In the 37/38 Fisher Body manual the 37 section shows a gutter seal, and mentions its removal and reinstall - but in the 38 section the few pictures I can find don't seem to show a gutter seal,

and "seem" to show a foam seal in the lid like the one I have.

Searches returned nothing, so I thought I'd ask.

Generally speaking, late 30's GM sedans have weatherstrip in the trunk opening and coupes have rectangular weatherstrip in the trunk lids.

Thanks Grant, that's the info I'm looking for.

Loco,

When I replaced all the door rubber last fall on the LTD,

I tried "bob's" for my trunk rubber and it did not fit in the groove.

The door seal P/N DW 493 worked very well around the trunk. Just put the BIG bump to the outside.

I just installed the square weatherstrip in the trunk LID of my '39 Buick convertible, and nothing goes in the body gutter. I only buy from Steele, because they will give money back if you don't need it, and they make it all. They do make mistakes. They offer a seal for the bottom of the door that does not work on a '39 Buick. You have to use the '40 Buick type of sealing. There are NO holes in the bottom of a '39 Buick door for the ones they sell for a '39. Those are for a '38 and possibly earlier.
