    Where can I get new weather stripping for the two rear wing type windows? (1971 comet gt) I have the auto krafters book and I don't see it there. Any ideas. Thank you.

    They are not reproduced. You will have to find used ones or Tom Hackman used some from a Honda Accord.

    If you would like your Comet GT added to the '71-'75 Comet GT Registry, let me know.

    I don't know the year.

    I don't know the year and no pictures were taken. I do know that they have to be cut to fit because there bigger than the comet ones. When my mechanic gets to it I will further update. Btw, even if they will not work out it was still worth investing the 4 bucks to take a chance. Thanks!

    Here is a picture of the weatherstripping

    Here is a picture of the weatherstripping that came out of a honda accord with the same type of wing window as the comet and mav. I don't know what year but I do know it works with a little cutting.
