1936 coupe 1/4 window rubber seals
 

i bought a pair of 1/4 window seals from cw moss. not real happy with them,
when i removed the old glass the gaskets came off in bits & pieces and i noticed a small bead on the outside top edge. the new ones are missing this detail.
any better ones out there? thanks, kurt.

Not really.Drake ones I bought in 08 didn't have that bead you mentioned.Just a plain U-shaped rubber that you cut and fit.Why would it be at just the top and not all the way around ? Maybe your were squished over the years?

I suspect that bead was caused by the pressure on the gasket up against the body and when the seal dried out it kept that shape. I have bought those seals from a variety of vendors and manufacturers and never saw a bead on those seals.

no, the bead was molded into it. the bead goes all the way around, thats why i said it's on the top edge. if you did a cut away, the bead is on the top of the U shape. i have a piece saved, if it didn't get tossed, i'll show.

In about 1993 I bought 1/4 window rubbers for the 5w. Had the bump out. Redid the windows while back and no bump out.

The swing out seals are different. If none of the parts dealers have them you might try Metro Molded Products.
