Topic: 1940 Mercury 4 door sedan quarter window seals

  Does anyone know of a replacement seal that is manufactured for the rear quarter windows of the 1940 Mercury 4 door sedan? Mine are intact but hard as a rock! I’d even settle for a seal that is from a different year/make, as long as it fits. What’s compatible? Is there a company out there that can take the old ones and remake new ones? Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Mr Merc,
I have a '40 Ford Fordor w/o pivoting 1/4 windows. Mac's (Eckler's) had all the seals, except the ones you're looking for. If my memory serves me correctly,(and it may not at my age), I think I bought seals for a coupe's 1/4 windows, then cut them to the correct length. Place the seam at the top; only you will know it's there.

  If the seals for a 1940 Ford Fordor will work, Carpenter has them.

  One owner said that the 40 Ford seal fit his 40 Mercury. They have different P/Ns, so there is some difference.
