What is the proper name for the door glass whisker weatherstripping and where can I buy it? I'm looking for my '59 Imperial 4dr hardtop.

Are you talking about the run channel liners? You should be able to get that from Steele Rubber.

I got mine from Restoration Specialties. They call it window channel and belt weather-strip. You will need to know the measurements of what you have to match it up. After 25 years, the stuff I bought from them is like new.

Vans carrys Top Cat, which is precut and has the little clips already... simply pop em in and go...

They even have the little bends in the corners just like factory.

Thanks mikes2nd,
Vans had many cat whiskers, sweeps, fuzzies, belt weatherstripping. Too many names. Unfortunately, they didn't have any for a 1959 Imperial. Thanks for the help.

Powerflite,
Thanks, they didn't have strips with the chrome beads. They did have a lot of parts that I will be needing.
