There's a grove on the underside of the wood top front cross bow. It fits over a metal protrusion above the windshield. BUT There's a listing in the Parts book for weatherstripping, but it appears to be associated with the #1 front metal top bow, not the wood cross bow.

I couldn't figure out where you would put any weatherstrip on the #1 metal bow, so thought it might go in that grove in the underside of the wood bow.

I contacted Steele Rubber because they make every little scrap of rubber for the top, but they wrote back saying they make no rubber for the wood top front cross bow (or for the rear convertible window, which also requires weatherseal of some kind.

Should there be ANY rubber on the underside of the wood top front bow?

Any suggestion for best way to seal rear convertible window? Is the top material, as seen in photo, enough?

Note: 37 is my numbering system for resto progress, not year of car, which is 1940.

Thanks,
Joe

I called. Making progress re 31.037 and 31.063.

And, Fred, the Duchess likes (as they say these days) her script hubcaps, side mount mirrors, fog lights, and under-grommet parts, too. Still debating about adding the spotlight. Jim Hollingsworth advised to wait until car is together and see if it tarts up the Duchess too much. But I have it, so Thanks.
