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?

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.

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.
