    Default Anyone have 'profile' pics of seals?

    I am not asking about dating a sea creature...

    Looking to replace the trunk seal that NOBODY carries, but I know there should be significant range of 'this should do the job'. Can someone post pics of what their trunk/hatch Mustang weatherstrip looks like, maybe with a ruler for reference?

    The trunk seal on the Granada is essentially a channel to 'pinch' the sheet steel with a bulbous seal above. Pretty basic. If a Mustang trunk seal is similar, it should keep the water out which is what I care about. I had one retailer almost laugh at my incompetence in knowing they were different and 'almost nothing Mustang can possibly work'. Anyway, want to compare and see for myself.

    I need to see it from the end. Make sense? I ran out of hands so no ruler to compare...Name:  Seal trunk.jpg

    To that end, I got the same response when asking about dew wipes and window run channel for this 4-door. He said I could not possibly cut them down from a Mustang and make them work. I searched, and it seems I CAN use a Mustang run channel, cut shorter, and it seems a Bronco tailgate wipe will work as a dew wipe, again, cut down shorter and maybe adjust the clips. Can anyone also confirm that?
