Hi,
Been catching up on some old digest e-mails from January, and there was a
thread about 80s Imp rubber door weather stripping. Someone asked if the
Cordoba/Mirada strips are the same.
It is my experience that they are NOT. From what I have observed, the Imps
and Cordobas/Miradas share, hoods, front fenders, windshield and doors. I do
not think too many other exterior parts interchange.
The opera windows on the Imps stick out over the doors by about 3/4 inch or
so. The correct weather stripping has a nicely rounded cutout to allow for
this. (I noticed it on that FS Edition I looked at, right after I bought
mine.)
Unfortunately, my 83 has (what I assume to be) Cordoba-type door strips with
hand-cut (read roughly hacked-out) notches in them. I didn't realize this
when I bought the car.
(BTW any one got good ones for me?) *-)
Anyway . . .
