    Where is the best place to get them? I have seen them on ebay for about $50. Is this a good price and has anyone used them? This applies to the headliners also, anyone used them either? Thanks.

    I have used both the headliners and the weatherstrip from AutoKrafters and have had no problems with either one.

    I think AK is about 69.95 for the front, and the same price for the back. But just keep in mind that I am trying to call this up from memory.......and you know how that goes:D But really, I think that's the price. I need to order one of each for mine when I start body work. One more thing on the ever-growing-never-shrinking to do list. Good luck with it!! Preston

    Thanks. I just bought the headliner you are talking about earlier today. I wasnt sure if someone was just using the autokrafter name in their ebay store or if it really was autokrafters....you never know. Anyway, I am bidding on the windshield seal as we speak.

    The paint on my car will be about done this week. I am putting in the new steering column, manual pedals, new wiring harness and vent tonight and tomorrow. It is really starting to shape up. I will get some pictures as soon as the paint is done. Sounds like I will have to have a little MO mini meet myself!! :)

    Thanks again guys.

    I put the AK front and rear seals in a few years ago, they were original Ford parts.

    Barry.....they used to sell Ford stuff.....it is all now repops. I bought the last Ford front seal they had. Turned out to be a $109 "blem" that I didn't discover for 2 years until I went to use it.

    Believe it or not......it has a twist in it. There is no way to untwist it unless you cut it in two. Weird, huh?
