Title: Need guidance on exterior molding and weatherstripping.
Post by: Ohiowoodchuck on December 18, 2021, 05:51:58 PM
Can someone help me with the weatherstripping, drip rail moldings and window felt. It's a 1974 Barracuda and most of the stuff is missing. I'm confused on what all I need to buy to completely reseal up everything on the car. So I'll give it a shot to see if I'm correct. New drip rail molding set for car then there is a roll of felt that goes down before I screw this on. Then I buy weatherstripping that goes into the drip rail then all also need to buy the quarter glass seals and the felt kit also. Will this be all I need or am I missing something. I'm sorry to ask so many questions. But the car was taken completely apart and a bunch of the parts are gone. I'm just trying to save another one.

If you're talking about sealing the car don't forget about the seal around the doors and the end pieces. Also the trunk and tail light seals. Detroit Muscle Tecnologies shows everything you need also.

These are "weather-strip channels " they are sort of a galvanized metal channel with a stainless trim fixed on to them, and they have lots of holes for attaching. They are also unique to Barracuda, Challenger ones are different, same with the above moldings you posted.
