question about '42-'47 sedan deliverys

[rustythumb]

what have you owners used for back door weatherstripping? also, what about headliner bows when the originals are missing? i found that sedan bows aren't even close! thanks!

I am looking for the same answers too. I have looked at using the back of door edge seal like this from Carpenters. https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/cars/weather-stripping/door-seals/11a-7320546-back-of-door-seals This version comes in one length so only needs one join where the ends meet.

I have two Sedan Delivery's and only one has the headliner bows, I was going to look at trying to re-bend some sedan bows to use for the SD headliner using the ones I have for a pattern, but just haven't found the time yet.

I'm also trying to work out the best way to make new metal strips for the back floor of the SD, if any body has a suggestion??? They're not the same as pickup either as some have suggested in the past

I think us SD guys need to stick together as there doesn't seem to be many of us out there

I think I bought my tailgate weatherstrip from Steele Rubber Products for my ‘53 Ranch Wagon. They had many profiles and sizes to choose from, and the price per foot was cheap enough that I bought enough of a couple profiles to select the one I liked the best.
