After years of sitting out in the sun and rain, your Fox Body Mustang's weatherstrip can start to deteriorate, become worn, torn, and brittle. This leads to wind noise, water leaks, and other elements entering the inside of your Fox. Late Model Restoration put together this quick, and easy to follow, guide to help you get the correct weatherstrip for your Fox Body Mustang!
Mustang Door To Body Weatherstrip
The door to body weatherstrip is one of the most common seals that go bad. This seal runs around the perimeter of your door frame on the body side. It seals the door to the body when the door is closed to prevent leaks, wind noise, and other debris from entering your Mustang. Common symptoms of the bad door to body weatherstrip include wind noise, leaks along the top of the door into your interior, and torn weatherstrip. For the convertible applications, this will be trimmed to fit on the lower edge of the door frame.
NOTE: This weatherstrip will need to be trimmed to fit your convertible Mustang.
Mustang Trunk Weatherstrip
Your trunk seal is an important piece that prevents your trunk cargo from rain damage. This seal runs around the perimeter of your trunk frame on the body side of coupe and convertible Mustangs. The trunk weatherstrip seals the trunk to the body to prevent leaks, wind noise, and debris from entering your Mustang. Common symptoms of bad trunk weatherstrip include wind noise, water leaks, trunk chattering/vibration, and torn weatherstrip.
Mustang Inner Door Belt Weatherstrip
If you've ever rested your arm out the window and felt a sharp poke, it was most likely a dry-rotted door belt weatherstrip. The inner door belt weatherstrip attaches to the top of your door panel to keep moisture, and debris, out of the inside of your door. This seal has a felt lining that wipes the window clean when it goes up and down, and a chrome trim piece that improves the look of your interior. A common symptom of a worn inner door belt weatherstrip is scratches on your window tint, or pieces of rubber missing from deterioration.
Mustang Header Rail Weatherstrip

Its purpose is to seal the top frame to the Windshield Frame and Door glasses.
