Are there weatherstrip seals that you need which are not produced

Our weatherstrip manufacturer will be at our office tomorrow. I wanted to ask you guys if there are any weatherstrip seals that you need that aren't available to you, and if so, what year range, model and series did you need them for.

Best Regards,
Tony

Re: Are there weatherstrip seals that you need which are not produced

Chev Vega hatchback(and Cosworth Vega), w/ optional, flip-out rear 1/4 windows w/s not avail, as of 1 years ago. (fixed 1/4 uses different w/s). Steele then said they were studying it, release date unknown.

1985-92 Lincoln mark VII, w/s on door, goes from beltline, up door, terminates at end of horizontal area, rear of door.

1959 Olds 2rd hardtop (Holiday Coupe, Seniccoupe) no door w/s avail, last I checked.

For your consideration.

Re: Are there weatherstrip seals that you need which are not produced

How about ones that are produced, but are not close to OEM?

I got a pair of door seals that had the following issues:
-Plastic pins not in the correct location
-length could have been a couple cm longer
-OEM had plastic backing at the ends where it is screwed down onto the door
-OEM had metal band inside the entire length

I'd like to see a better OEM replacement option.

Thanks

Tony, I've spent time hunting this on your site. It is the inner upper A pillar (windshield) trim for convertible. With or without trim would work
