Title: Qtr Window Seals
Post by: edison1970 on February 28, 2018, 07:14:18 PM
Getting ready to order new quarter window seals for my Cuda and not sure which ones to order.  I bought the glass from Carlise some years ago and don't know what year they are from.  What is the difference from 70 to 71+?  I know there are 2 different part numbers so maybe someone can explain.  Thanks

It all boils down to the stainless trim. 1970 is a one year only and takes a different weather-strip. Is the current weather-strip "felt-like" or solid rubber ?

It's hard from age but looks like just rubber.

Mine's a 74 Challenger, but I bought mine from Rock Auto and they fit perfectly at a good price, too. Hope that helps!  :cheers:

I bought mine from Dave at Roseville for a 73 Cuda.  Perfect fit.  Call him, he will help you.

I just seen / came across this now.I ordered the 71-74 seal. It turns out I have the 1970 style. Is it possible that my 71 came with the 70 style? or do you think someone may have changed the whole assembly ?  The both sides are70 style.  :popcorn:

There's a small chance if your car has an extremely early build date, but most likely someone has swapped them out. :alan2cents:

I agree Alan, I believe they where changed.. I am not a trophy chaser , but I do try and have all the correct parts on my cars!I may just buy the 70 seals and live with it. What do think Alan? Would you try and find the correct stainless for the 71? or just use the 70 seal and live with it? Anyone else wants to give me their opinion is more then welcomed! thx Alan

It's a matter of personal preference.....it's not like it's going to stand out like a sore thumb....90% of the people looking at your car will never pick up on it anyways...heck, half the time the windows are rolled down :driving:
