Weather Strip Replacement - Doors

[Pat Marshall]

Graham,

That was the first place I checked but I searched "weatherstrip". So I just now searched "rubber" and SHAZAAM! there they were - DOOR PLATEAU "DOG LEG" RUBBER SEALS $199.00 (eek!).

Like searching on the Forum, ya just gotta use the right word!

Thanks!

From your post I wasn't sure what rubber you were asking for. Be cautious about what Jack sends you. I received a pair of seals recently that had sticky bed liner sprayed over the rubber to hide casting flaws.

What is so hard to believe? The Mark II was a treasury of a car. They have always been misunderstood and under appreciated as if they are just "old lincolns." They were almost like a modern custom built carriage but built on a small assembly line. It was a completely different body style in all ways and respects to production Lincoln. Lincoln only served as a vendor of parts to the Continental Division for engine drive train and other parts. Like the washer bottle. I think Jack's price is ok if it is well made, I haven't seen one. It is a complex piece looking at my car.

I"ve bought the dog leg door plateau rubber reproductions from every supplier known. I bought a set of old stock reproductions made by the legendary reproduction fellow "Wilkins". I've bought them from MKII Enterprizes, LincolnOldParts store, and Dennis Carpenter Ford parts. ALL were as hard as tires which made door closing difficult to impossible. And, that's hard on the star wheel of the door catch. Now, that was several years ago. Kelly McClure at Lincoln Old Parts said they were casting some new editions out of softer rubber.
But rubber hardness of the reproductions has been my problem. I even took a dremel tool and carved out the inner fold so they would lay down further....not ideal.
Accurate repro's have a steel pad on the mating surface to the door plateau..which adds to the thickness/hardness problem.
Good Luck!

Steel rubber products does have them, it is the only part they have for the Continental

Replacements sent. It was a flaw in the new tooling.
