Thanks Alan ! And yes...I try to avoid damage to the trim as I know that it is a nightmare to get new ones - a specially when you live in Spain. I ordered already the -68 supplement from the US that came the other day. Trim was mentioned here, but not the stuff I was looking for. Bad luck. As you sa...

Hi Guys, I need to bring my -68 to the paint shop for a complete repaint. As I live in Spain, there is almost nobody that knows how to take trim of my car without damaging all.

Re: 1968 Landau Weather strp

Thanks for reply ! My car is a 2-door Landau Coupe. I have seen the gaskets from Macs Autoparts, but they are sold as a pair and for me a little high priced. Would be happy to get a good used one from a junkyard or privat seller.

Then it works on the left side, dead to the right. When emergency is pulled out all is dead. Seams like the trunk relays and motor work fine. All bulb...

Re: 1967 WILL NOT START

Hi, I had this once with one of my cars. It turned out to be the coil. Try to change that and probably your Bird fly again.........
