Re: 64-66 door weatherstrip-EUREKA!!!!

I bought used passenger-side Civic ones from the junkyard for my '61, cut off the "corner" and added an extention section under the sill plate. I did look at a lot of other seals while I was at the wreckers, but the Civic ones are quite thin, which is what makes them work.

The doors close MUCH better than with the Precision seals I had bought, but I don't like the rubber edging of the Honda seals.

I'm going to try and slice off the outer inner "grip" of the Precision seals to help them lay closer to the door flange and see if that helps.
