Since I've owned my car, I've had a rear passenger door that will only seal if the door is set way too far inside of the body. I hated how janky it looked from the outside after awhile and aligned it with the rest of the body, but now I also hate having the constant "you didn't shut your door all the way" wind rush right behind my head. I'm trying to avoid completely bodge-jobbing it by adding generic seal-by-the-foot around the entire perimeter again :blah:

I have never been able to find wagon-specific rear door seals. I am not surprised, but I've never figured out how to work around the problem of the rear doors having square-cut frames at the rear edge of the window instead of the angled frames sedans have.

Has anyone found a decent way to modify sedan door seals to fit wagon doors? Sedan rear passenger door seals aren't terribly expensive (like these), so I'm not against the idea of cutting them up, but I'm not sure if there's a good way to go about it with particular bulk seal products out there, especially all of the thin-profile stuff that is usually on the shelf at parts stores.

Those might say "and wagons" but as I mentioned, wagon rear doors are different in the rear of the window frames. Wagon rear doors are a couple inches longer along the top. The window frame has a steeper angle & uses triangular fixed glass on sedans (like this 67 Belvedere or this 67 Coronet, compare with my wagon above).

If I use those seals, I'll have to cut them and end up with a gap. I'd only want to do that if you can get door seals with a similar profile in bulk somewhere.
 
I did a quick search. I imagine you have as well. Give 69bfan fan a shout. He was a big help to me with a few things on my 68 Coronet Wagon.
