Hi All, My name is Maxwell Hobday and I belong to the EFV8 Club of Queensland in Australia. I currently own a 1953 Ford Customline. (I am currently the youngest member at the ripe old age of 24!) My grandfather (now the older member at 95) instilled a good love of old fords in me when I was just 9. When we restored our 1949 utility. I am trying to track down some quarter window seals (REAR) for my customline; as I am in the process of repainting it. We are unable to obtain any here in Australia. I am wondering if any of your members might have some stock they are wishing to sell or know of where I might be able to get some? I believe the 53 model was the only one that have move-able glass quarter windows in the rear. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank-you!

Hi Maxwell, Good to have you on-board. Dennis Carpenter makes several Quarter Window seals. Check them out at https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/en/cars/weather-stripping/quarter/?per_page=40&sort_by=1&displayMode=list&filter%5Bcustom2%5D%5B0%5D=1953 You may find it easier to just go to his site, https://www.dennis-carpenter.com and check out the pictures. Good Luck, Don

Hi Maxwell, I like your car. I don't believe that anyone reproduces the window seal that you are looking for. Four door sedans are not popular restoration projects, so there is little demand for them. Back in the 1970's when I was looking for vent window seals for my Mercury, Metro Moulded Parts had some exrtrusions that could be modified to work. Try contacting them to see if they have anything that you can use. http://www.metrommp.com/index.cfm Tom
