Default Re: front header weatherstrip 34 Phaeton

David,

If you are thinking in terms of a rubber weatherstrip along the lines of what is used on the perimeter of the windshield frame, I believe that you may wish to reconsider.

I am reasonably certain that '32-'36 phaetons and roadsters originally had a top material wrapped round sponge rubber core weatherstrip retained with a chrome-plated steel strip that was attached to the header bow with a series of oval-head wood screws (black-painted on standard models). (Bill Monzo makes an excellent reproduction of the retaining strips - 2 pieces for '33-'34s.)


P.S. With respect, supereal, the C&G part 40-761440 is for a cabriolet which has an entirely different weatherstrip as the interface is between the header bow and the top of the cowl unlike that of the subject vehicle, a phaeton, where the interface is directly between the header bow and the windshield frame.
