Has anyone weatherstripped a 'glass deuce roadster?? I'm close to having to do this!
The three areas I'll be doing are the hood( top only & made from steel), doors & trunk. Was anyone able to use a kit or is buying individual pieces the way to go?
I was thinking of not doing the door bottoms & only having some kind of rubber stops at the bottom corners of the trunk area & nothing on the trunk drip rails.

Any help is much appreciated!

You can get cowl welting.I glued mine to underside of the hood.Didn't need any on the doors,downs body. Got some foam w/glue on the back side for the top & two sides & put 4 round pieces (size of a quarter)of indoor/outdoor carpet on the bottom edge. Made a lift from a power window & upholstered the underside of the trunk & sides & used indoor/outdoor carpet for the floor. B-O-B********DSRA

SoffSeal sells an excellent weatherstrip kit complete for Deuces.

SoffSeal has a sample kit for 32's, 33-34's. It cost $5 if I remember right. It has small pieces about 2"long of all the parts needed for your year/make car. The $5 is a credit good on you order. It nice to have the product in hand to see if it will work with your application. They even label the pieces so you know what their for. Here's the link to their site: http://www.soffseal.com/

Bob the Builder-We can fix it !!

I got some really cool silicone rubber weatherstrip from the local marine supply. They have all diferent sizes, shapes, and solids or hollow. I put some really small (1/4" square) around the door edges and used the solid stuff on the trunk and cowl - worked great!

How's the rain gonna run out if you seal it?

Good point & that's why I would not seal the bottom of the doors as I mentioned in my post. The only reason I want to weatherstrip the sides of the doors is to tighten up the fit & keep the doors from chafing against the jams.

Thanks to all for your feedback!!

Original 32 Ford Roadsters have a rubber seal across the bottom of the doors. It is on the bottom of the door. Thye fit in a metal channel. The original roadsters also have two rubber stoppers per side on the body to allow door adjustment and keep the door from striking the body and damaging the paint.

There are also rubber stoppers to stop the decklid from touching the body. Rumble seat and trunk rubbers are different. All of these rubbers are in Bob Drakes catalog (with pictures). These may give you ideas to solve your problem.


Good Luck with your project.......
