1971 Landau weatherseals needed

[Shvinas]

Hey where to get roof rail and door seals? it looks impossible! I can even cut and bond from other ford but no ideas which

The quality of the roof rails is superb, the door weatherstrips I give 7.5 out of ten...

You didn’t mention if you have 1/4 windows or not but I can tell you what I found for my 70. I was after 1/4 glass seals and purchased them from Mac’s/ecklers I installed the rt side with no issues but the left was to long. I called them repeatedly and while they acted as if they were listening they weren’t. They did send me another set and the same issue existed. Both sets had part numbers on the bags from where they got them which is what helped me solve it, they were mis packaged as a pair. They were manufactured by Scott Drake industries which is a mustang supplier. I was able to then order the correct seal from a mustang supplier at a fraction of the price and individually instead of the pair. Now I can order roof rail seals from them but at over $350 I’m not to excited to do that so I just went back to my previous experience and scoured the mustang world. Over the weekend I ordered roof rail seals for a mustang that have the same suffix for the part number for $39. I don’t have them yet to know for certain but they show to have the same profile, I hope to have them by the end of the week and then I’ll know for sure.

I didn't mention about 1/4, but mention Landau :))
for fastback with quarter I heard that easier to find for torino, it's the same body.

About mustang roof rail seal, if the shape is the same like tbird and the length is enough, I gonna order too! please inform about it.

So what's the answer? Your car have Q windows, or not?

Regardless the link I provided has everything you need.

Ok, update here. My seals arrived yesterday and I was able to compare them to the car. I haven’t replaced them yet as the car is put away for winter but I see no reason that they wouldn’t work. Honestly I think the trailing edge is to long so it may need some trimming but for 39 bucks compared to 350 it is easy to trim and well worth the cost savings. If I’m reading your reply properly you are trying to say you have 3 windows and not 5 so I’m not sure how your door glass back edge seals so I don’t know if what I’ve done would help you. If you want any pictures or measurements let me know and I would be more than happy to get them for you.

[Shvinas]

thanks good news.
back edge seals the same as top. one shape for all length with 90 degree. but front and aft ends have shaped attachments, how they look? different or the same?. maybe it will be different from mustang. or maybe they can be just removed.

I will buy it. 39$ to Lithuania becomes 100$ haha.
yes, Landau is without 1/4

[Dansbirds]

Front of these seals has a attaching point with a shaped bit of rubber, the rears do not, probably being the difference with 1/4 windows. Anyway again if you want I can snap some pictures and then you may be able to see if they would work or if you could make them work.
On a side note, I’d have to imagine your one of a small handful of 71 t birds in Lithuania. One of my old birds, a 70, is in Australia and another went to Germany, a 76, and I’ve sold parts to some other countries as well. Enjoy

[Shvinas]

I would like to see a pictures. Yes, only few 70-71 in LT, not more than 5.
where you bought them for 39$?

[Dansbirds]

Here are a few pictures the picture of the end profile is

the $350 seal from Macs. The end picture of the seals I purchased shows the same profile. The overall length was approximately 88 inches long. What made me take the chance was that all the part numbers I was finding had similar part numbers. I worked for MB for many years and although not the same as Ford I could decipher a fair amount. C=60s decade D=70s second digit year etc. what i found was that the suffix on these numbers was staying the same with little differences in years and I would imagine models everything from Galaxie Fastbacks to Mustangs we’re coming up with the 51222 ending part number. I purchased my set from classic industries and I went with the 69-70 mustang ones.

[Shvinas]

yes 51222, I noticed that on ford part catalog which I have.
from my memory its the same as mine. I'm not at home, working in Ireland for winter seasson but gonna order it right now, will take 1.5 month to come to LT.

so seal is not shaped? straight?

[Dansbirds]

Correct it is a straight piece.

[Shvinas]

ordered seals with some other cool stuff. now need to get door seals. Thanks for help!

The door seals are available in the link I provided.
