What is it?
« on: May 17, 2012 - 10:34:47 PM »
I have this part that was laying around my 73 chally when I pulled it out of the field years ago.  I was thinking it was the weatherstripping that goes between the quarter window and door glass.  But on both of my quarter windows, I have a similar looking stainless piece on the edge (except there is no rubber, just a bare groove).  Then I got to playing with it, and it the piece actually fits on the door glass edge, but I couldn't remember seeing a challenger with two stainless pieces so close together in that area, and it wouldn't have enough room to roll up and down, I'm pretty sure.  Is this even a part for a challenger? Only got one, so probably a spare of some sort? I guess I need to know what it is, and then secondarily, what weatherstripping goes between your quarter glass and door glass. I have seen them online, but they too have that stainless piece, and I already have those on the quarter glass. Can a man just buy the rubber part?  Thanks in advance

You're right the first time, it IS the 1/4 glass divider/seal. The whole thing goes on the 1/4 glass. We used to use a butyl tape and oil to swell it, but urethane works much better these days. It IS made of 2 pieces and you can buy the replacement rubber for when they crack and cause a whistle.  :2cents:

sounds good  :thumbsup:.  Is the quarter glass curved at the bottom, to allow that piece to fit? I'm guessing it is..I've never really looked
