rrs814 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 FINALLY had my top replaced, and notice (now) that the weatherstrip (driver side) is "worn" and will certainly leak. I know I can reglue and maybe patch it OK, but I'd like a new piece from top of window down to door (am I dreaming?) Any help appreciated as always.

ol' yeller Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 You have my sympathies! Your only hope is good used and most of them will be in similar condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Steele Rubber has a selection of "roll goods" that might offer something "new" you could repair what you have (with appropriate adhesives and such). Just a thought . . . Seems like I recall, years ago, somebody mentioning (elsewhere) about using a Devcon 90 product to mold a sway bar isolator bushing on an old Desoto (or similar) sway bar mount. It was in a tube and would require some sort of mold device to hold it as it cured. Perhaps it might take "some time" to build-up thinner layers and then get to a final shape that would work on your Reatta? NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Good idea, you may be able to cleanly cut of the bad section and glue a similar new section in it's place. Would not be a show solution but certainly would be a viable solution for a nice driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
