Title: Flxible Clipper Window Weather Strip/Seal
Post by: joshua.coder on June 01, 2021, 01:24:08 PM
Good Afternoon,

We are searching for replacement weather strip/seal for our 1945 Clipper.

Specifically, and for lack of a better description, the big piece of rubber that is in the 'back' of the windows that appears to seal the non-slider.  This piece is held in place by clips on the ends, or what would be the top/bottom of the frame.

Any information that anyone might have is much appreciated.

Take Care,

Joshua L. Coder

Thank you, UCJ.

I am currently working with Brandon, at Steel, to see if they have anything that might work.

Might hope is that the windows are not/were not ONLY used by Flxible, and/or that they have something close that can be made to work.

Take Care,

Unfortunately, no luck with/at Steel.

In exchanging emails with folks on the FOI group, we found a fellow in WA that had this rubber reproduced and has as much as we could ever need for sale.  He also had the clips on each end reproduced, and sells those.

As such, we have the rubber and clips on their way our way.  We are beyond excited to have found this source.

Take Care,
