[DML] Re: Weatherstripping

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Send me an email off-list. I can find you samples of the original 
stuff - we've pulled it from many cars now (because it's torn). The 
only exception is the very early VINs that have the "flat top" 
weatherstrip. We have not ever removed it. It's missing the little flap 
on the back so it doesn't seal as well  and the VIN-Correct people will 
put up with that(but the doors seem to work better probably because 
they are not very tight). 

Over the years there have been several aftermarket types used, usually 
from some other car that's "kind of" close, or reproductions based on 
samples. We'll soon have a repro based on the OEM design (the later 
design, not the "flat" design).
