Auto krafters seems to have DOOR weather stripping for the 2 dr pintos now. $100 a pair?

wow.
I'm up for a set immediately!!!
anyone else??

TIGGER · « **Reply #1 on:** June 14, 2006, 02:23:02 AM »

If you do get a set, please post feedback. I installed some nice originals in my 79 wagon a while back so I am good to go for a while but my 73 will need some in the near future.

Nice find HotRod, might have to take the $100 gamble! I notice that they also have the door beltlines for the roll-up windows, and the windshield and back glass seals. No hatch seal for the wagon though

HEY GROUP:

AFTER READING ABOUT THE DOOR SEALS YESTERDAY AM, I ORDERED 2 PAIR.

THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELEIVE THAT MAYBE AUTOKRAFTERS IS TESTING THE WATER TO SEE WHAT KIND OF INTEREST IS OUT THERE.

SO ALL YOU PINTO NUTS PLACE YOUR ORDERS; OR AT LEAST GIVE AUTOKRAFTERS A CALL AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE DOOR SEALS.

SEE YA,

Hey dragon,
Do you know something about the seals that i don't? I emailed autokrafters asking about the door rubber.They replied that it wont fit the wagon?

I cant tell if it fits for sure or not just going by what they said.
Do you know for sure that they are the same .
If so please post and ill order one right away.
Mike

HEY GANG:

I RECEIVED ONE OF THE TWO PAIR OF DOOR SEALS I ORDERED FROM A/K, THE OTHER WAS BACK ORDERED.

HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO TRY IT YET, MAYBE THIS WEEKEND.

LOOKS GOOD BUT THERE ARE NO PIN HOLES.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS AS SOON AS I CAN.

I WAS COMPARING A SEDAN DOOR AND A WAGON DOOR SAT.; COULDN'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Hey 68CYCLONE:

According to my 1977-80 Pinto parts list the weatherstrip around the door is the same for the Sedan, Runabout, Station Wagon and Squire Wagon. Not sure why AK indicates it doesn’t fit wagons. I plan on ordering a set.

Thanks!

68CYCLONE

The rear top edge of the window frame is taller on the wagon doors; On the non-wagons the rear top edge slopes down to match the roof line where the wagon roof goes straight back. The glass and the window frame are different, as well as any "chrome" trim, but the rest of it is the same. I don't know about the weatherstrip though.

:what:I took some good used door seals from my hatchback parts car and put them on my 79 wagon with no problems. They should interchange just fine

DragonWagon · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2006, 02:08:06 PM »

I don't know for sure that the gaskets for sedan/wagon are interchangeabl e, but it's worth the gamble. They gotta be close, and anything is better than the rotted mess that's on there now!

Just placed the order for a set. Also ordered their window beltliner's since I couldn't find the ones that had been listed on ebay.

Keepin my fingers crossed.

imhoppy · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2006, 10:08:01 PM »

OK i ordered a set as well.If they are crappy we'll all go down with the ship.

Well placed my order, They had better come through. To just tease us with the idea that they "may" be available.
Ok now all i need is a new rear window seal. Mines a bit dry and leaking. Once I took out the rear window to do a headliner and it never sealed right again.

Lets hope they get them soon.

Cookieboystoys · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:17:47 AM »

I ordered a set too for my 77 wagon... was told 2 to 3 weeks back order.

Has anyone received a set and tried them out yet???

I was asked where I learned of them and told the sales person www.fordpinto. com

wagonmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:45:49 PM »

The weatherstrips for the sedan/hatchback and the wagon are the same. Ford just "stretched" the weatherstrip a little for the wagon. That's why you'll sometimes see old weatherstrips on the wagons where the extruded portion has partially or completely separated from the upper rear molded corner piece. If anyone has received one of these, do they look like they have a molded corner piece bonded to the extruded portion, like original, or is it all a one piece molded or extruded piece?

71hotrodpinto · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2006, 09:52:53 PM »

Well I contacted Autokrafters and they told me that they expect shippment on July 5th.... Man its been a long wait. The last time i had some new ones on was brand new in the box back in 1985. Hell i didnt even drive yet! But that car was washed and waxed every week. Man that was a ways back!!

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 03, 2006, 05:55:27 PM »

Don't give up, you guys are great. I hope they fit well and we have a vendor we are happy with.

71hotrodpinto · « **Reply #21 on:** July 03, 2006, 11:53:50 PM »

When i talked with the "sales guy" he mentioned that they had 15 orders for them . I hope that the demand will go up. Then we can hopefully get other things like rear window gaskets, rear station wagon hatch seals, and door runs. I think that the major stumbling block besides rust is the lack of seals to repair the leaking ones that weve had for 20 years on our Pintos.
On a side note Recently, the only set of NOS door seals on ebay went for near $600 for the pair! :surprised: I bid "high" at $175 only to be smoked off in the final bidding. Now im glad i didnt win!

68cyclone · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:37:38 AM »

HEY PINTO NUTS:

I FINALLY GOT TIME TO INSTALL THE (1) PAIR OF DOOR SEALS THAT AK SENT ME.

THEY FIT FINE EXCEPT THEY AR JUST ABOUT 1" TO LONG FOR A SEDAN(WHICH MEANS THEY WILL MOST LIKELY FIT A WAGON FINE).

THE ONLY TRICK IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE HOLES FOR THE PINS.

THEY DO WORK; WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF RAIN IN OHIO AND MY SON(FINTO) REPORTS NO LEAKS!!!!

HOPE EVERYONE GETS THE SEALS THEY ORDERED.

SEE YA,
68CYCLONE

DragonWagon · « **Reply #23 on:** July 05, 2006, 04:54:38 PM »

Thanks for the update 68cyclone! Glad to hear that they seem to be fine. :drunk:

And add the factory sunroof seal to 71hotrodpinto's wanted list. I have a '79 hatchback that I'll eventually get around to resurrecting.

Supposedly the doorseals from a mid 80's to early 90's Ranger or Bronco II will work on the wagon rear hatch. You need to purchase it new from Ford due to the fact one it is installed on the truck, it is too short.

Cookieboystoys · « **Reply #28 on:** December 08, 2006, 07:22:14 PM »

Hey Tigger.. what can be used to replace the seal on a runabout hatchback? any ideas?
