So I like almost anyone with a sedan or wagon had very leaky windows when I got my Torino. I read and searched everywhere and came up with the same answers I'm sure everyone has seen...not much. I tried the PlastiDip, even tried cutting the back ind inserting rubber vacuum line to try to seal the gap. No luck. I bought a roll of universal 3M self-adhesive weatherstripping - part number 8651. It didn't quite fill the space the OEM weather seal filled, but it sealed the window! It is available in many part stores.

Not a show car fix, but since mine's a driver it's good enough. I've been thinking about filling the gap with black RTV or something so it looks a bit better. I overlapped the corner a little to help fill the area under the corner of the glass.

I don't know if this would help but you might be able to make something closer with one of these.

Looks like a similar product, just different shapes. I'll give them a good look over before doing the other windows. |

Wow, this is what I have been looking for. The original owner filled the gaps in the original weatherstripping on my wagon with Great Stuff. Obviously did not work, as the car leaks badly.
