I may have an update on the fastback window seal. I have a '68 Torino fastback and want to change the seal some time in the future.
I looked online as I'm sure 67Ranch has done and found no seal anywhere. I sent an email to Eckler's asking about the seal. Their site shows a seal for the notchback and sedan cars but no fastbacks. I received a reply from their tech department today: "I
believe the fast back windows were glued in... using butyl tape. I have looked
all over and see no one carrying one. I checked steele rubber, auto krafters...
carpenter where we get these others seals... I can find nothing unfortunately.
Makes me wonder if the fast backs were just glued in." It never occurred to me about glue rather than rubber seals and I think the tech is on to something here. As we know, modern cars all use glue/adhesive for their windows but I never thought Ford did this in '68/69. I'm going to check with a auto glass shop for any information. |

I can tell you that the used ‘68 backlight that I have was glued in. The sticky black stuff is still around the edge of the window as proof.

Wow thanks, hearing that I found here that Galaxie's of the era used butyl tape for the front windshield. Would still like to find any documentation about these Torino fastbacks.
