Window Sweep Felt Kit for '68 Parisienne Convertible
Permalink  

I am looking to replace the Door Weather Stripping and the Window Sweeps on my '68 Parisienne 2+2 Convertible.

I saw the Door Weather Stripping on Rock Auto under '68 Impala but did not see any Window Sweeps.

Are they available through Rock Auto and I missed them? If not where is a good source not breaking the bank?

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't find window sweeps for my 66 on Rock Auto either. It seems only the repro places have them and I don't know about 1968 but there's only one decent quality sweep (Brand name Cat Whiskers) made for 1966 Grand(e) Prix/Parisienne. It was $170 US shipped to the border for me. General response to the PUI sweeps seems to be very negative.

  I ordered mine from Ames. There was one other vendor I found them at (the name escapes me at the moment) but they were $250 US vs Ames at $150 US.

These aren't for sale, because I'm going to be putting them on my own 68 in the spring.

I picked these up some time ago and I was lead to believe they were good quality.
Looking at them, they sure look good.

Hi , for my 65 strato chief 4 door I ordered window sweeps for my car from repops , I chose the impala style ones which seem to work with most fittment issues but I found the exterior rubber side is about 1/8 of an inch away (hmmm ) from the glass , I do believe you need to order Pontiac specific to rectify this but unconfirmed since I did not reorder
Cheers

I ended up ordering the sweeps from Luttys Chevy Warehouse. They told me they will hold back shipping until the postal strike ends. Car is in winter storage anyway. Ill order the weather stripping from Rock Auto.

I was thinking about it and started worrying that the Pontiac and the Chevy would not have the same seals on the 1/4 window due to 1/4 panel shape but that parts books say they are the same.

For you the Grande would be Pontiac only but Parisienne convertible is same as Chevy. 2+2 door panels are exactly like SS door panels. Just different emblem.
