Side Glass Weather Strip for Jowett Jupiter

Carl Andersen · Post by **Carl Andersen** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:14 am

I am looking for a source for the side door window weather channels, (they are glass windows that crank up and down and I need the guide strips that go inside the metal channels), and the door weather strips that go between the door and body. I need them for a 1951 Jowett Jupiter but I doubt that they are special in design so another British car probably would work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Carl

Carl,
My Morris Minor uses felt strips bent into a "U" shape to fit in the metal window channel. Might try MiniCityLtd in New York State.

Do you have an old one to use as a template? MGB/C uses something that sounds like what Maurice is describing. I have some used ones you can have to experiment with if it helps.

I guess that because it was so obvious, I overlooked the logical solution. I'll buy some felt stripping and it does look like it's probably what was used originally.Thanks for the quick response and help.
Regards,
Carl

Carl,

Just remembered that there is a '52 Jupiter here in Palm Springs.
Nice car, decent restoration, it gets a lot of local ink.
Google: Palm Springs Jowett Jupiter
