Can't speak specifically to FWDLK cars, but my '78 NYB uses the same roof rail w/s as some similar vintage Caddys. The extruded corners have to be recycled, but the straight runs are a total swap-in.

If you still have enough of your original rubber, some time perusing something like the Metro Molded catalog might find you the same cross sections, which are likely the most important issue.

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA		On a sedan, this stuff is pretty easy to approximate with standard yardage. I don't even recall any special corners. it's just a strip around the 2 doors and a strip for where the deck closes.

Location: Heaven Above (Formerly Oklahoma City,OK)		Can also try Steele Rubber Co. I've used their products for years and it always fits, or they make it fit! ! ! ! And prices are competitive. . . .
I've also noticed that thee are some re-sellers out there that buy from Steele and dropship the products to the customer.
