WANTED '71 Fury sedan door seals

[goldfish65]

The rubber door seals for the passenger side front and rear doors. Specific to the sedan and I do see anyone selling replacements. If not, is there a universal type that is known to work? Thanks.

I was looking for replacements for my 68 Fury. OE rubber was close to $200. I ended up finding this universal fit type on eBay and put them in yesterday. I think it fits great, adhesion was not a problem and the doors close nicely.

D Shape Universal Car Door Rubber Weather Seal Hollow Strip Weatherstrip 15ft

They are D shaped and the little lip on it tucked into the window frame nicely.

Thanks jstaples2. Your pics help me. Looks like maybe the '71 body style uses a different seal from '68, because I haven't found OE rubber for sale for mine anywhere. Here's the door seal area on my '71...any thoughts on those seals working with what I've got?

Yours looks very similar to mine once you've pulled the old stuff out. I have a bit leftover if you want a pic or any measurements, etc.

Hmmm now that you so kindly showed me, it does look like it might just work. Sure is a reasonable price. Thanks!

Goldfish, nice 71' you've got there and thanks for posting this. i need seals for mine too...

Ok I got one door done. Not as fun as I expected but not awful. They send it to you all wadded up so it's kinda creased, when you're peeling the backing off the adhesive part, it wants to pull the rubber off with it. I beveled the corner and it didn't come out great. The main thing is, will my carpet stay dry...after it rains I'll post the results.

It rained. A little water still got in. The "d-shaped" universal weatherstrip fits nicely in the groove, it might be good for the slab years but looks like fusey's need something a little fatter. The car is built with a sizable gap between the door frame and the body. Suggestions? I'll keep looking too... Pics...passenger side shows the new stuff and drivers has the old...

No wonder some water was dripping onto the back seat, look how wavy the metal is, where the push-on trim goes and when you close the door, the rubber seal should be up against it. I used some vice-grips to carefully get the metal nice and straight.

Have you been happy with new seals? Looking for new seals for my ´73 Chrysler

Not entirely. When I wash the car, I still get some water drops on the seats. On the side I used a seal out of a parts car and that is still not perfect but it's ok. Wind noise is noticeable. I think it's a good idea to check the lip around the door opening is straight...where mine was bent, it let water in.
