Just bought a 25 coupe with the top light of the windshield that opens. The dividing seal is not too good and would like to replace it. The seal on the sides is just about gone. If someone has a coupe that they can view these seals, I would like a sketch of a cross section so I can look for replacement seals. Thanks Dick C.

If you don't have them, the catalogs put out by suppliers are a wealth of information.

I wondered if the seal they make for the open car windshield post would work. At right here it looks like it might.

Not willing to take a chance I made my own from some rectangular rubber strip. I made a jig to cut the strip to a triangular shape by pulling it past an exacto blade screwed to a chunk of steel. I made the strips 3/16" x just less than 1/2" which was the thickness of the strip I was cutting it from. It is a little tough to get started. It has to be pulled through in one long consistent draw. Any hesitation or stopping with leave an irregular mark which can be seen as a flaw in the lower photos. while perhaps not what the original was it works well.

Thanks Rich. I think I'll talk to the folks at Lang's and see if I can get the entire window kit.

Get all the available T parts suppliers catalogs. Snyder’s , Lang’s , Chaffins and others.
There is lots of good information in them besides parts. If your new to Model T’s they are a great place to see what years parts are for the different year T’s.
If you call them they usually will send you a catalog.
Go to the resources page on this website and you can get the names of suppliers there.

As stated above the rubber seals that are avaliable can be modified to fit different applications. Good luck.
