Re: IML: 63 Trunk Seal

I bought the correct trunk-weatherstrip for my 1963 Crown from Andy Birnbaum. I think they still list only through 1962, but it is the same as the original

Subject: IML: 63 Trunk Seal

Hello IMLers

Can somebody please confirm whether the rubber trunk seal on e-Bay, item #4630934586 is correct for a 63 Imperial??

This seller does show a cross section which is helpful but it doesn't appear to match my existing seal. Although my seal is probably a bit crushed flat I also think it may have been installed up side down, which is not helping with the identification.

Looking at the sellers X/Sec, would I be correct in thinking that as the way up it appears on the screen that the bottom of the X/Sec would glue to the Car body and that the trunk opening would be on the left of the X/Sec meaning the weather would approach it from the right??

This auction ends in another eight or so hours but if I miss it I'm sure it will be re listed.

Any views or help would be greatly appreciated.
