68 Vert window "bit"
Hi there,
I'm hoping that you guys can help me identify a name for this part, and more importantly i need to find a repop pair if available. I have had no luck so far. Surely someone makes them? Its the very top part of the vent window, attached with a single screw

I could be wrong, but I think that piece is now commonly "made into" the rest of the weatherstrip piece rather than being a stand alone part.

My original is actually three pieces. A hard wider channel where it would be below the top of the door, then a felt channel from there to the top & then the little rubber insert you pictures. My repop is one piece all the way through made by metro.
I really can't give you an opinion on how well it fits as I haven't gotten to that point yet. I sent the front edge of the windows out for re-chroming & haven't put any of it back together.

Should be this one:
https://metrommp.com/?f=detail&Model...TIAC&Model=GTO They do have a bit of a different look to them, & I am no sure what other brands are out there for comparison.

I got the ones from AMES, they were one piece and fit perfectly. It was a wrestling match putting it all back together though.

Let us know how the install goes & maybe a few picts? it will be awhile before I install mine, so I am curious what to expect. I have been wondering if I would keep the hard section of the channel in place & cut the new one to fit, or install the entire channel. had to be a reason pontiac used the separate parts originally? Sorry I didn't have the Ames part number, I figured that's where it came from but I have had these on the shelf for a pretty long time & I wasn't certain where I got them. I have so many parts like that ready to go, but am waiting until I have 99% of everything restored before I start putting the car together.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
