^^I'll be the second!
I also have been calling Matt for the last 6 months. Sent him an example for production. It's real guys......
Well!! It’s certainly Headway non the less.. I’m in for some “Footage” when they’re ready.. thx March for the steady pressure..
Sold by the running ft. only.
That means reusing the old molded corners and end pieces which in turn means butt splices you have to glue and pray for.
Yes, better than nothing.
It is a far cry from the initial claim that "someone says that he heard that 1974-1978 Chrysler C-body 4 door hardtop Roof Rail Weather stripping was..."
Like I said.... It ain't happening.
I'm saying this only to make the whole issue clear to everyone especially the new buyers of these vehicles.
Undercover weatherstripping sale. I like it, well done Bob. It’ll certainly be going to a deserving formal.Thanks to a great friend I won't have to worry about that for the next 20 years....
THANK YOU!!!!
What would it take for someone to make injection molded end pieces? I can see where there may be enough demand to justify a simpler DIY glue together solution using linear molding... at some point, folks will settle for what they can get.Sold by the running ft. only.

My initial inquiry here in Savannah shows a die could be made and 200' feet made for $1G. Problem is (as noted by others) is the complexity- Formals have sharp window corners, complex molded ends, AND a different profile on the c-pillar portion. Cutting and splicing would be required. I have not as yet submitted a profile design, thus I am still waiting to see where this goes...Like I said.... It ain't happening.
This would be part of my next inquiry as well. But do I understand correctly- @commando1 has already received $ info for the complete system? To do it absolutely correctly, 2 different extrusions would have be mated with 4 different molded ends (left/right/front/rear). And this is just for the ventless 4 dr hdtp version. 2 door coupes and hardtops would be different still!What would it take for someone to make injection molded end pieces?
I was given the total cost of tooling (extrusion moulding dies & injection moulding dies, and assembly dies) years ago by SoftSeal at $15k which I pay up front. Material and labor would depend on qty. of OEM style roof rail weather stripping assemblies, of course. Plus there was a minimum.This would be part of my next inquiry as well.

The plot thickens.....Steele came out with one for sedans. Aren't there like a zillion more Hardtops out there than sedans??
Well, well. I was wrong. Steele DOES NOT have the roof rail weather stripping after all.Steele weatherstripping for sedans:
