Re: IML: the weatherstrip

["Rob van der Es" <R.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !

Well, not ALL overseas members are too busy with the Question of the day...

With regard to the trunk weatherstrip you are looking for, be sure that it 
is meant for the Imperial and not for the other Chrysler products..

I ended up with two useless trunk weatherstrips before I found the correct 
one. The first one was send by Andy Bernbaum and was a correct 1960 Chrysler 
product but NOT for an Imperial.
The second one came from Atlas Obsolete Chrysler Parts, same story..
Finally I found the correct one at Steele Rubber Company, this one has a 
total different cross section that is correct for my 1960 Imperial Crown.

Good luck,

Robert
