Quarter window seal replacement 66 fury 2door or similar

HOT FURY March 18, 2024

I wanted to share a find for anyone looking for the same thing with no luck. I have been trying to find the flocked weatherstrip seal that goes on the leading edge of the quarter window to seal to the door glass.

Any opinions on Liquid Tape?

sprice March 14, 2024

Have been trying to repaint the black insert lines on my 68’ 300 grill. Have tried a liquid tape product called Peel-tek with no success. Doesn’t trim worth a darn. Have tried lightly brushing and then heavier. Seems to come off in pieces or in strands. Anybody had any success with this type of product from another brand?
