RE: [T3] rear window seal for notchback


Take the car to a couple of body shops to ask
for recommendations for a glass shop that knows
how to deal with old cars. Bottom line, find a
shop that understands and knows how to work on
old cars. In my case, the owner owns several
trucks by the same manufacturer, and even one
of the same era.

If the seal is in decent condition, they may be
able to add some sealant to seal it up, without
replacing the hard-to-find seal. It may be worth
this as a short term solution. The materials 
they have now for glass work are far superior
to the old stuff.

This morning I've been looking for the american style seals, but so far no 
luck.  West coast metric seemed to have a pretty complete parts catalog.  
They list the american style window seal for a notchback, but indicate that 
they are not available.  I'll keep looking.

Ok, once I find the seal, I'll have a pro install it.
