Windshield rubber

Post by Peter McBratney » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:30 am

I need new rubber for my 1961 Capri. The old bits are hard, brittle and crazed and I dont think they can be rejuvenated.

Can anyone advise me where to go for new ones.

Attached is a photo of the deck molding and the round insert that holds the glass.

Thanks

Peter
