Ed, it's not the seal I'm talking about. There are small rubber "pads" on the louvers that keep the metal on the middle of the frame from touching the glass - here's a picture from the MPC (see the part circled in red). It looks like this might be the same material, just using a longer strip. If they are the same material using the same profile there's no need for a repro because I know of a commercial source that sells the stuff in long rolls. I just don't know if it's available in gray.
Does anyone have a picture of this strip showing what it looks like from the end? I expect that it's kind of like an upside-down "U" when installed.
specialed:
we have a couple original grey strips on ebay & have been selling them for years but are almost out of them that's why we repoed the grey version & its more correct copy than the black repo that's been made years ago. scott this luggage strip is very thin plastic like where as the 2 louvers pads were thicker type rubber different size also. Call chris brown to get some of the new correct grey strips as they would be good to have on your lists of parts u make & sell.

It it is, I have a good amount of the black material on-hand and can probably get the same material in gray.

Believe the profile is different. "Sides" are a different height if I recall correctly. Don't have the Boss at home at the moment or I could post a side by side comparison.

Would be interesting to see some pics of the Windlace style used on 70 with the fuel evap system. Never seen it.
Thanks
John

Round corners, thick with the metal reinforcement and with texture/grain pattern just like windlacing around the side door and window openings
