Weather strip - ylwhrse - 05-19-2013 Ok everyone I am looking for some experience on weather stripping. I am almost done painting my 72 mach 1. So I am getting ready to order all the weather stripping for the entire car. What brand does everyone recommend ? I know there is some import junk out there with poor performance and worse fitment. I only want to do this once and I want to do it right, so any help and previous experience would be GREATLY appreciated. Please let me know what type/brand and where you purchased it. Thanks YLWHRSE RE: Weather strip - JTS71 Mach1 - 05-19-2013 Point blank ask Don from ohio Mustang he'll shoot you straight. He should be along pretty soon, so hang tight and he'll fix you up. I'll keep watching this one cause I'd like to know myself. JTS 71 Mach1 RE: Weather strip - Steven Harris - 05-19-2013 I second JTS' comment above. Don will steer you straight and the answer will be good information for all of us. RE: Weather strip - keith1562 - 05-20-2013 Definitely ask Don, if I'm not mistaken he carries a comprehensive kit that includes everything including the liquid sealer for application. Good Luck, Keith RE: Weather strip - ohiomustang - 05-21-2013 I have a kit we put together for 71-3's beltline is by repops Everything else is by DCMR in N.C. although they are now doing a lot out of China There are not choice's on a lot of the parts. A lot of companies put their name on DCMR's parts Only one I get fit issues on are the door weather-stripping Do not stretch it when installing. Some guys pull it to tight and it easily stretches Fastback kit is 279.95 NOT in the kit - but I do have all of it if you need them.

I was going to call you and talk about it today, but I spent most of the day in the paint booth and then getting ready to go back to work. I will call you to place the order from work up north. I put a list together including bumpers and front spoiler and may need a few other things. I will default to your expertise so that I can get it all at once and that I don't forget anything. Depending on my work days Don I will talk to you in the next couple of days. YLWHRSE / Tim RE: Weather strip - Rare Pony - 05-21-2013 As Don pointed out the door weatherstrip can be an issue. Check out the thread below for the issues I had on my 73 Convertible. I ended up with two sets of the weatherstrip from Danial Carpenter and both were longer that the original factory weatherstrip. DC was great in working with me on the issue and I was told they were going to shorten the weather strip in future runs. This was back in 2011, so not sure what the current stock is like.
