i have a leak when it rains on my passenger side wdw.  my rubber floor matt has water on it after a hard rain, i have tried to track it using a hose to follow the water intrusion.. the rubber that is there is clearly dry and cracking.and there are some gaps,, i tried to temp fix it with some gasket maker and sort of seal the cracks, but it didnt work out too well.. made a mess,, 

the part i am looking for is the rubber that fits into the roof, and when the door is closed, the window fits into that rubber, thus, creating the seal to keep the water out,, at least i hope thats were its coming from.

Is it possible that it could be getting behind or under the roof rail gutter on the top of the roof and finding a way in from there, i dont know the configuration of those metal trims, and how they keep water out or if there is a seal in there somewhere as well

is that part called the 'Roof Rail rubber" or roof rail set,  not the vent window seal but the one that runs the entire window opening..that stuff is high and i dont want to order the wrong set..

Yes Kim, it's called roof rail seal/weatherstrip. They also make the whole car look so much sharper!

Rubber the right way has a door and window kit. Get the kit it's cheaper. I had the same problem I had a kit installed and no more leaks and very little wind noise.

i spoke to them,, Rubber right way that is,, going to order a set soon

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
