66 Parisienne weatherstrip kit


looking for complete set of all rubbers, channels and fuzzies. Guessing Metro would have the best. Does Bonniville or Impala fit?

Yes Bonneville and Impala will be the same for the weatherstrip but I do not know about the door and quarter fuzzies.

I think Bonneville should fit but to be safe maybe order for Catalina just to be sure. Quite sure all the glass interchanges between those 2 but for sure Catalina and Parsienne use the same stuff. 

And yes, I would also agree Metro is good.

I would agree on all the weather strip except for the window fuzzies. Only accept the original style with the round bead. The flat bead style usually do not fit well and are considered a less costly replacement item.

Its quite common that you may have to redrill the placement holes for the fuzzies. i believe Repops and PUI list the Parisienne and most likely the others do also.

Spent 30 years selling the stuff.  Steel Rubber is also a good source and their web site lets you cross reference the product.

Impala fuzzies will not fit properly on a Parisienne. The Impala has a stainless reveal molding on top of the door and 1/4 window (about an inch wide). Pontiacs do not !

Asumming this is for a Grande wouldn't you just order for an American Gran Prix for the correct roofrail and quarter glass pieces?

I think he has a Parisienne as well. But yes, I bought Grand Prix stuff for my black Grande Parisienne 10 years ago and that was all the correct stuff.

 From what I remember the ones I got from you (NOS) were Cat Whiskers brand, or something like that?

If anyone cares, I did a writeup on this site about changing them when I did it.

Yes Carl; they were "Cat Whiskers" and they were noted for originality. PUI purchased  the company likely in the mid eighties and pushed the original fact.

I had to do some minor tweaking to make them fit just right but for the most part I would say they were one of the better repro fuzzy kits I'd seen (meaning for any cars, not just 66 Pontiacs because I'd never seen other kits for them)

I've seen some years of A body fuzzy kits that were absolutely awful. Looked like crap, sharp edges on the ends, fit like crap etc.

Best solution (if possible) is to clean up the originals as well as possible. All the repro stuff regardless of brand leaves much to be desired. Yes some are better than others but nothing made today compares favorably to originals.
