    I have 1970 Kingswood station wagon. The door weatherstripping was shot so I had to find replacement one. NOS is either not available or very expensive so I called Goat Farm as they list weatherstripping for Impala for less than $80 per side (front or back). I was told that front is the same but back would need to be stretched a bit.

    Well, I got both weatherstripping sets in a timely manner and recently installed it on my wagon. As I was told, front was no brainer, just glue and push pins. For the back, I had to remove two pins that wouldn't align. Other than that there was just one spot the weatherstripping had to be stretched for about a 1/4".

    So I am just letting you guys know in case somebody is looking to get their leaky doors fixed. I am not affiliated with Goat Farm. I am just a happy customer.

    Sure! It's an Add Entry 'button', for future reference.

    Done! Thanks again for the link. It's one of those ongoing gremlins for wagon owners.

    I had an issue with them (ordered...paid...received 1/2 items (sorry backorder bla bla)... heard nothing for months... emailed twice-no response.... called 3 times-3 times promises... emailed again no response... called again (probably the right person) second 1/2 items received within a week).

    Still they're cheaper with SofSeal and Metro (I believe it was) than other vendors
