Sunroof replacement seal sources?

[Racer X]

Anyone know of any that aren't Sunroof Doctor or TG Automotive?

I hope these things didn't just go obsolete.

Whats the problem with either of those? I used the sunroof doctor one on my wifes 92. Worked great.

Neither of them have it in stock anymore.

Oh great, procrastinating kicks me in the balls once again. As far as I know those are the only two sources.

man is that for real? ...I was planning on ordering one from sunroof doctor

 

[JRA2000TL]

I tried to order a seal from Sunroof Dr. about 2 months ago and got a refund stating that they were on backorder until approx. (this week actually) in April. Now that you've made this post....this tells me they're still out of them, and I too, hope they aren't obsolete. The seal is absolutely shot in my 89 and the car has horrible wind noise.

 

[SHOVNST]

That is good news. The order could easily be delayed, which is fine by me. All we should be concerned with at this point in time is if there is an order coming. Not having access to new sunroof seals would be a big loss to the SHO world.

 

[Racer X]

They told me to try again the end of May.

Jeremy, if they gave you an earlier date a few months ago, this really isn't looking good.

****.

 

[SHOVNST]

Yeah that is not good, damn.

Does our moonroof cross reference with any other Ford cars that may still be supported?

 

[Rubix]

This is gotta be something we can have easily made, amiright? Such a silly simple thing.

I'll buy one too, maybe even two to have an extra in the garage.

Got mine last year, suckas.

Its the same seal period as other early 90s fords, but that means its discontinued for all of them. It's a simple thing, but the start up cost for another company to make them would be high. I wish I had saved the portion I had to trim, as a sample.

[SinisterSHO]
