68 Vent Window DELETE - please help!!
#1
Hey guys, 
Working on my son’s 68 4 door and have been wanting to replace the vent wing/window rubber on the front doors. I’m sure it’s the original rubber and obviously it has shrunk over the years and starting to let rain water into the door.

So originally we decided to simply replace with new rubber weatherstrips. I thought I found what I needed at Classic Industries but when it arrived, it’s apparently for a 2 door. The difference is at the top of the vent window, the rubber appears “cut-off” compared to my 4 door that forms a point. I called Classic Industries and am told that no one makes replacements for 4 doors. 

So here’s my questions:
1. Does anyone know where I can find new vent window rubber weatherstripping for my 68 4 door front doors?
Or
2. These look really good with the vent window out. I would totally be up for deleting the vent window all together if I knew there was a kit or parts I could buy to relocate the window channel and obviously new bigger glass. Anyone ever done this or know how?

We plan on adding A/C in the near future so not worried about losing the ability to direction the vent windows for cooling.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Give Steele Rubber Products a call, they have weatherstripping for 4 doors that might include what you need.. https://www.steelerubber.com/search?year...door-sedan

Soffseal is another good one.. their website is in flux right now but they have a number and email address to call http://soffseal.com/

Also, try Detroit Muscle Technologies a call.. they "might' have something.. https://www.detroitmuscletechnologies.com/

I'm fairly sure that part of the car is same as a convertible or a sedan (or did that end in 67?). So parts for those might fit.

As for deleting the window, the factories did that later on by having the vent fan run constantly.. You may be able to get a custom glass shop to make a piece to fit in there..
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
