autonut Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Wondering if anyone could direct me to any place that reproduces the window sweeps for a 1973 Boatail Riv. There are some available but not of the same type as original. The original rubber is the same height sweep in the original sweep is the same height when closed to mate with the other rubber piece to make a tight seal. All the others I have seen the movable piece is far shorter and would allow much dirt to accumulate in the valley of the sweep which of course is undesirable. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. It requires a chrome top piece of course.Lee Noga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autonut Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 No replies as yet. Thought I would add a couple of pictures of the window rubber wiper strip along with chrome strip as one factory assembly. Hasn't anyone reproduced this piece?

my first riv Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Not sure if they have them or the cost but there's a website called steelrubber.com that has all sorts of soft rubber seals and sweeps for older cars. Could be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tder1 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Boatail stuff is tough to find period. Just bought a full set of weather strips for my 73 and I could swear they are in the box. Have to go to my Garage to check and will advise. I hope they are there or I'll be searching too.

Tder1 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) OK, We are in luck. Took a ride down to my Garage and the Kit contains all the window Wipers inside and out, front and rear, as well as the screws, staples, and hardware to install. I believe this is what you need. Seems to me that the rubber pcs are the same length as original. Came from OPGI. Edited August 16, 2015 by Tder1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
