Weatherstrip doors - what am I doing?

Post by varmint » Thu Sep 18, 2025 7:56 am

I purchased a bunch of weatherstrip at one time some years ago and am just now getting to the doors. I found this package without any label or part number on it. So, I took photos for help in identifying it. The weatherstrip looks like there is enough to do the leading edge of both doors in between the hinges. But I really do not know where it is supposed to be installed either.

Did not see weatherstrip in the index of the Service Bulletins (did find cowl weatherstrip p377), Ford Service manual, nor Model T Ford Owner.
Looks like to me, the forum says that, originally, Model Ts did not have weatherstrip on the doors.
