‘26/‘27 Coupé/Tudor door rubber
Is anyone reproducing the little rubber seal which keeps ran from running down the outside of the door window and collecting in the bottom of the door on an all-steel coupé or Tudor door?

Re: ‘26/‘27 Coupé/Tudor door rubber
I have owned a ‘26 coupe for 51 years and have never seen such a piece of weatherstripping. That is why I have never drive my ‘T in the rain or park it outside where it can get rained on and when I wash it, it gets a sponge bath with a light rinse, avoiding the door windows. If you locate such a piece I want to hear about it, but I don’t believe Ford ever made one for closed T’s. Jim Patrick

yes, look at the vendor catalogs for 1928 Model A pickup door parts, it's there.

Thanks! I knew that the stuff existed. I always made sure that the window rubber was hood on my daily driver coupé back in the 1980s and 90s. Now that I’ve picked up another which I intend to drive as my winter car I’ll not have to worry about rusted doors.

Re: ‘26/‘27 Coupé/Tudor door rubber
I tried to replace mine years ago, the originals were hard as a rock and broken. I replaced the glass first then tried to install the seals with no luck, they may need to go in when the glass is installed. Also some of the model T glass bottom metal channels do not have the the right shape for the seals, but the model A channels do.
