Hi Lindsay

We are having new molds made up for front and back windscreens by the local Novus Windscreens franchise. There is othing else available that we could find. You're right- the old ones shatter when you pull them out.

Will be sure to update with pictures of finished car.

Hi Andrew,

She's lookin' good!

You seem to be getting on with it ok and methinks you will have some buyers for repro windscreen seals if you do a run of them.

In the meantime....

SNAP!


Great minds think alike!

Cheers,

Ian

Hello Andrew,

I see you removed the back window. I am curious what you are using to re-install it as the plastic chrome strip in my Coupe would disintegrate if I removed mine.  What are you using instead of the chrome strip?

Otherwise the restoration looks great, make sure you put the completed project under this same topic

I thought members might like to see some pictures of my restoration. We ended up making one good car out of my two, as one had a decent body, and the other good mechanicals. Will be on the road in a couple of weeks. I can't wait.

My 46 year old door seals have deteriorated a lot over the years and it was difficult to find a suitable replacement profile.

I finally found a great match on Amazon.com

Door Rubber Seal Horizontal Bulb 0.62" Bulb Height x 0.039"-0.137" Grip Range x 0.53 U Height (see attachments)

Because the car has wider metal across the top of the door and down the windshield post, I also bought a filler rubber from Amazon to hide the remains of the contact cement Honda used during manufacturing.

Trim-Lok X105BT-25 D-Shaped Rubber Seal (Thick Wall) – EPDM Foam Seal  0.437” Height, 0.375” Width, 25’ Length

Together they greatly improved the appearance of the door seals. By the way, the 'red grip' that secures the main rubber is very good and holds really well even if you removed it numerous times.

This forum is for the registered owners of these rare cars and the registered enthusiasts who wish they owned one.

Hopefully, the communication in this forum will allow owners to get answers to questions about the restoration of their cars including tracking down parts to complete their dreams.

Enjoy the forum and make the most of its intention.
