Weatherstrip..anyone have part numbers?

Hey guys, I'm doing some research into what it might take to get some new replacements for some of the rubber weatherstip items that we really have no replacement for on the Tbirds/Cougars. Think along the lines of what the Fox Mustang guys have.
Anyway, I know nothing yet, but my contact asked for some factory part numbers. Basically 83-86 and 87-88.

Anyone have that info?

Thanks
Chuck

Well, I've acspoogeulated a few numbers so far..but still am lacking key ones.

Primarily the inner and outer belt mouldings for the 83-86 (and inner for the 87-88).  These are the pieces that seal against the window where it goes into the door at the bottom.  Also the run channel liner (what the window seals into).

(as a clue...I'm trying to see if having this stuff made (ie as restoration parts) is a possibilty)

Mark VII weatherstripping will work. Question is, would it still be available?

Chuck, you're on to something man. This is going to be a hot item because we need weatherstripping available something fierce. I know I personally need some, and can't find good stuff at the boneyard. Don't let the lack of responses get to you...you're doing the right thing, and I'll help all I can.

i found some stuff at jc whitney, but i dont know about them. it took like a month for my friends truck door weatherstripping to get hear from em... but they have the pattern for our door stripping, and i think they have something we can use for bottom seal and trunk. just have to match up the cross sections.

Mustang weatherstripping is the same for the doors and trunk (LX coupe) as the birds, it's just that the weatherstripping is too short (for the doors at least, can't remember on the trunk).  If you can buy the Mustang door-to-body weather stripping in a longer section, it would work out great.  The T-bird stripping is about a foot longer.  I know this because I replaced the weather stripping on the mustang with better weather stripping out of my parts car T-birds.

I kinda figured that was the case on that. 

Anyone have a part number on the window channel liners?
