Where is the best place to buy weatherstripping for Pinto's. Does anyone make an OEM kit or is it best to go with a universal weatherstripping from, say, JC Whitney? Thanks.

There's aftermarket ones for sale on e-bay, too.

I've got to take a close look at the weatherstripping now... it's my last major project everything else is pretty well done already.

Does that look like something credible? Does anyone have prior experience with those door seals. New door seals are the biggest issue... the other is the rear window seal. Does for still sell weatherstripping for a Pinto? I know they still sell some parts.. I went in and bought new pedals and a (+) terminal, even though there computers only go back to 1980 a 1980 Pinto is the same as a 1979 :P

I haven't bought them before, but I need them too. IIRC These are replacement, but instead of attaching with the plastic clips, they are held on with adhesive. Their ad looks credible. It takes work to get to 'Power Seller' on e-bay, and with almost 2000 transactions, their feedback is 100%. That's something to consider when dealing with e-bay. I recall seeing a thread on the yahoo pinto group too.

I think I'm going to buy a set and install them and I'll let everyone know how it goes. I'm also going to buy a set of window felts that I have found. The last and one of the more important things I need to find is a rear window seal for a 1979 Trunk model. Any ideas where I can find that? It's the only thing I haven't found...
