One last go at roof rail seals
Anyone got a photo of the original roof rail gasket for a 67 dart 2dr ht? I made the mistake of having the old one pitched. I figured replace all the 40+ year old rubber right? The shop even said you sure you want to replace some of these gaskets since they look fine. Could have kept most of the old ones since they were still sealing. My Soft Seal roof rail isn't fitting right. I think I remember how it's suppose to fit the the windows. I wish I new when I started the resto that the reproductions stuff doesn't always fit right. Of coarse they did remove the door windows in the resto so that could be part of the problem. I suspect most of it is the gasket.
I found my old roof rail. The Softseal gaskets are not the correct shape. In fact on the original ones the top part of the gasket makes a slight change in shape right at the point where the front door window meets the rear window. Can't the make exact reproductions of this stuff????
