Door glass seals

[beandip]

I know this is a paint/body section but , I think it fits here. The window channel that fits in chrome trim surrounding the door glass. A good source for this stuff in good old J.C Whitney I used it some time ago and I recommend it. The part number is 18SB4877X It comes in a 8' length and you need two. $9.00 each . Another thing the fuzzy stuff that contacts the glass , inner belt weatherstrip , 19SB3480P It comes in a 6' strip and one will do both doors. $15.00 I attached it to the door panel with pop rivets , use a knife to remove some of the fuzzy material to make room for the pop rivet , this way it is way below the level of the fuzz and wont touch the glass. They also have door gasket . I haven't used this myself but Ed used it on his beautiful restore and really recommends it . Says after installation it looks like the original stuff. Comes in a 25' roll , $34.99 13SB2561U . They also have a fuel tank sealer/liner they sell for $33.00 I just was thinking some one might need this for there Zs Gary:rambo:

Thanks for the tip! I am restoring a '70 Z, and a 1985 720. Both need channel liners, and I have searched all over without luck. I didn't even think of J.C.

Thank You for this good tip.

I ordered some of this stuff recently and got it today.

Just now, digging around in the site to look for tips on putting it in, I see that the JC Whitney item originally posted about by Bambikiller is a different product. It's 18-4874, also known as ZX184874U. My friend Beandip has recommended this one in addition to the one he mentions above. A guy on HybridZ says he used 18-4874 with success. There are small size differences between them, with the 4877 stuff being a little larger in both dimensions.

Measuring just now, it looks to me like even the smaller would be a tight fit.

So my question -- has anyone actually installed the 4877 stuff?

Many thanks,

Steve

I used the stuff in my '73 and it has been in for a few years and works great . I have no complaints at all. I used all the material that I recommended in the original post . I also stated that the door seals were reported to be vary good as well , but I hadent used them my self. Gary

Thanks, Gary -- but are you positive it was the 4877 and not the 4874?

Here's what you wrote last March --

"Go240Zags, the window channel # 18-4874 it comes in 8' lengths and you need 2 The prices may have changed a little but are about $8.00 EA Gary"

Just checking -- thanks.

Steve.

I'm intrested in the rear hatch gasket that runs around the perimeter of the hatch. Does anyone know if JC Whitney offers a gasket that matchs the original??
