Im hoping this finds its way to the eyes of an experienced Mach 1 owner.

As you will see in the photo the weather stripping that goes around the rear quarter glass is shot, more so on the drivers side than the passenger, but to be realistic they both need replacing.

Where do you find parts like this? Any suggestions? Please help!

Yes I'm familiar with them, they seemed pricey to me. Mostly what I want to know is what brand am I after for the weather stripping?

Yeah, they're a bit pricey but well worth it! There is one thing I have learned over the years with my Mach, when it comes to repairs and parts don't skimp on price. If you are going to restore a classic you should try to use the best parts you can find or even fix the original parts you have if possible.

For example on my car the oil pan plug was stripped and leaking. I looked for a replacement oil pan but the metal pan's all seemed thin and cheap. So I ended up having a reputable shop repair my original pan. It cost me way more money than just buying a new one but, it was well worth being able to keep the original oil pan instead of a cheaper new one.
I hear ya on the "DON'T SKIMP" philosophy been there and done that! Ill check with SoCal on the weather stripping, thxs!
