Advance auto parts has rolls of weatherstripping, the same kind that my thunderbird had from the factory. What sucks is that one roll costs $35 and it's only enough to do one door.

There was a guy on ebay selling N.O.S. weather seals a couple of weeks ago but they were rather pricy. Even though mine are good I almost bought 'em for when mine rot out. Hey my sig pic isn't the biggest now;)

Yeah, my driver side it totally shot.  I also need that little piece of plastic that attaches to the top of the door.  Good thing I never get rain here.  Anyhow, I think yours is still the bigger pic thunderjet.

Actually, thinking about it, I need to replace my trunk seal also. Rotating it seemed to fix it for awhile but there's water under my spare tire again. Where to get it, beats me.

I was going to resize your sig picture for you, but then I realized I don't have photoshop installed on either machine. That thought quickly vanished.

I'm finding out a little bit about our trunk seals. They should be indentical to Mustang coupe trunk seals, and those sometimes come on a roll (cut to fit). Therefore...it is possible we could do the same using a Mustang seal. I do know that from the Ford dealer, if you ordered a trunk seal for our cars, it came on a roll and you had to cut it to fit. This is probably the easiest seal we'll find, but it's a start.

The stuff I got at advance was exactly the same as my factory door weatherstripping...and from looking at it, the stuff around the trunk opening looks like the same "style."
