Hey guys, I’ve lurked for a long time waiting for my 68 charger to come home, and the time has finally come. I’m looking for a couple window parts that I can’t seem to find, wondering if you guys can help me out with where to find them and their names?

- down stop window rubber grommet. It looks like a thick black elastic band. I have the ones for the up stops, but I’m trying to find the smaller ones for the down stops.
The ones in the picture I’ve posted are the same size, but there should be a small and a large. The piece with one bolt requires a much larger rubber band that the part with the two bolts.

- the rubber seal that mounts the stainless strip between the quarter glass and door glass to the door glass

- the last one I believe is called the door window guide, rear channel. But I can’t seem to find it anywhere other than Roseville Moparts. Hoping to find it at Classic Industries or Year One where I usually purchase my parts.

Any help is appreciate, thank you in advance everyone!

Detroit Muscle Technologies has the small elastic rubber band for the down stops as well as the quarter window seal, it comes flocked or unflocked. They have a lot of window repair items, just type window in their search.
 
DMT won't ship to Canada. BUT

1) I have a brand new set of the small ones that I bought for my car but its a post car and they aren't used in post cars
- I'm in Ontario

also

2) Nigel sells them

Nigel also sells the replacement felts in the guides.

What about the mylar strips, need those too ??

I ordered the flocked quarter window ones from them & they don't have the rubber cap on the top.
 
I’m currently restoring my 68 Charger interior.
The pic of the two tracks is what I’m showing in my pic I have it placed there for illustration.
The original part number for that seal is 2664771. If you enter that in Detroit Muscle Tech website it comes up as a 69-70. But I believe it’s the correct part for a 68. We shall see as I ordered it yesterday.

I forgot to answer your first question about the seal in the chrome.
It’s called Quarter Window Vertical seal. The only place that has it currently is Classic. Part MD 1611.
If you remove the chrome you will need setting tape to reinstall. Most Mopar are 3/64 or .045 thick. Setting tape number GT0364.
Verify all my numbers with your own research.

Mega Parts calls them "lower lock side door channel seals" 68-70. $35.00 for the pair.
 
just lazy?
Mmmm! Shipping is a bitch if using UPS or FedEx. They require "commercial invoices" and they rape you for brokerage fees on top of higher shipping rates. Most Canadians don't want stuff shipped by UPS or FedEx. On the other hand, shipping via USPS requires little more than a single small form filled out with some information - taking about three minutes of time. But that's too much trouble for many Americans - so yes, its often just laziness!
 
Here is another important bit of info I can share...many Canadians buying vintage parts from USA aren't aware that parts for vehicles 25 years or older are EXEMPT from Customs duties and fees. You only need to pay the GST. Most Canada Border Services Agents don't know this either, and I had a little debate with one such agent after going to Montana to pick up some parts to bring back to Canada, and he had to look it up on their computer to confirm it.

Have your American shipper mark the Customs declaration form with "Parts for a vintage 1970 Charger (example) over 25 years old. Exempt under tariff code 9966.00.00." Even if they end up charging you, you'll be able to reverse the charges later.
 
Jim just became a whiner, simple as that blaming the postal system for everything. He even black listed my email after shipping me the wrong parts, had his Daughter take down their Face book page "as he didn't have time for such ****" (that I used to contact him to correct my order after my email was blocked) and I had to get Joel/ hunt2elk to relay emails until we straightened out the mess. I now just order stuff via National Moparts and pay the extra, and let it be Nigel's problem.

As for the tariff code, YES, used that on my Polyglass tires last month. You still have to pay GST, PST or HST, depending on what province you are in..

Have NEVER paid duties. There haven't been duties on auto parts since the 70's at least. I suppose if you imported AMD **** right from Taiwan you'd get dinged but it seems that anything coming out of the US, regardless of origin, slips by duty-free.

If you buy from someone like Summit, its a diferent story. Their system is automated to the extent it lists "country of origin" for every single line item on the invoice. And if there are applicable duties then you're going to pay them - PERIOD.

Just be aware that if things are shipped by UPS or FedEx you're going to pay brokerage fees even if the **** was free. If it has to cross the border it needs a "commercial invoice" and they charge a brokerage fee.

USPS is the best cross-border shipping method PERIOD. No commercial invoice, no brokerage fees. Just a simple declaration slip and the shipping cost - both available online to anybody regardless of where you are. That said, there were many times an American tried to **** me on shipping costs - till they were told I could see the exact rate on line.
