INFO: Rear Window Seal for Fastback

Wishing i had seen this thread earlier :( ordered real window seal from dearborn for my 73 formal roof........and im sure everyone can guess.......i received one for fastback!!!!! Doh one look at it in package and i knew it was not right! called dearborn and they admitted they had a problem but it was the people they were getting it from part # correct for formal roof  but packaged wrong...they told me to send it back for refund but they could not get me the correct seal i need quite the piss off considering i ordered the whole weatherstrip kit and live in Canada! anyways if anyone has a formal roof seal and would want to trade? or if anyone needs a fastback window seal and does not want to go through the hassles let me know i have 25 days left to return!

On a final note, I water tested it the first time an had minor leaks.  I ended up putting sealer in the channel and using the handle of a hobby paint brush to smooth it out.  This worked GREAT.

WTF! So  I order a rear window gasket for my 75 formal roof,from auto Krafters.Part #D2OZ-6542084-D. Way to big for formal roof,must be a fastback gasket,packaged 10/18/11 manufactured by Dennis Carpenter.I guess they still have a problem.WTF,I need a formal roof gasket,Does anybody have a contact name at carpenter that they have dicussed this problem with?krafters suggested I contact Carpenters to find an answer.Will post pic later of window gaskets, Later.Thanks John

Auto krafters says that don't have a listing for the fastback gasket any longer and(because it was the wrong gasket)they stopped selling it. Cammi ,the girl  at Auto Krafters,that originally took my order said that they have sold close to 150 formal D2OZ-6542084-D gaskets and only 3 were returned. I emailed auto krafters these pix.

did yoy return the sportroof gasket?

yah no big deal just figured if you still had it i would take it off your hands

At my job with the CT State Police,we use Payless auto glass for our glass work,One of there installers said that Payless can supply the correct gasket for our applications.Since I had gotten my own gasket,he said he would assist me with the install.with My friend/bodyguy still not feeling well,I'll probably take hime up on the offer as its a 2 person job,Iwonder if anyone as tried using a glass company for the install of rear glass using their gasket.It would be worth a call ,thats for sure.

Jeff,yes I know that the glass can be installed by one person,I've installed alot, from heavy equipment glass,butyl in glass,with so much time invested on this car it would be just plain stupid not to have an extra set of experienced hands.don't you think?

Odd, I ordered the fastback seal from DBC and it looks right (seems to fit the outline of the window, but I have not pulled it yet.  I even mentioned the problems others have had when I ordered on line.

DBC says they do not have any of the fastback seals. I just sent the one back they sent me. Way too short. It was marked fastback seal and what came was a formal top. Like I mentioned, it should be around 12.5 feet long. You might want to measure it.

Same problem here for a 73 formal,3 inches to big at the top bottom fits good though.wrong part from 2 different companies.macs and dennis carpenter my inside measurements is 127,they say 130.

I recently ordered the following rear window seal from Dennis Carpenter for my 1972 sport fastback.

John, have you installed this to confirm it actually fits?  I assume it only comes in black, not colour matched to the interior like OEM?

Please post an update when you do get it installed.  I may have to replace mine when I get the funds to do a decent paint job on my car. 

yes the headliner is glued over the lip for the seal
