All,
Just wanted to share with the forum members a rare NOS weather strip that is almost impossible or impossible to find these days. We found this outside, door, left hand weather strip at a Ford Dealer that was shutting down. As you can see, the weather strip is wider due to the early production of the 1971 mustangs. My 1971 Sports roof had these weather strips installed from the factory. I believe sometime late in the 1971 year of manufacturing, they went to the narrow type of weather strips. As you can see in the pictures, the two screw holes are already in place. I thought I had the Left and right hand sides, unfortunately, I only have the left hand.
I wish I could find the right side to use. The re pop stuff is really crap. This I mean by, it does not hold up very outside. I had installed on my 1973 Coupe, less than 5 years old, I had to replace due to cracks and broken rubber next to the window.
D1ZZ-6524153-A weather-strip, door, outside
Another interesting find while looking into the Ford Master Parts Catalog, is this weather strip on the bottom of the Door. The part number is C9ZZ-6520272-A and requires 16 pan head screws No. 8 -15 x ¾ inch. This is probably another instance where Ford engineering has designed in before production and then determined it was not needed.
