I got into a bit of a race the other day when I probably shouldnt have. I made a right turn and immediately found a speeding BMW attempting to swerve around me from a sharp corner in the right lane. I laid into the pedal a bit, chirped the tires and heard an awesome turbo wastegate PAHHTISHHHHH and left the kraut cart far into the rearview mirror. Scared the hell out of me and blew the lower hose off the turbo in the process. I love this freakin` car! Decades after WW2 and we can still put the Messerschmitt`s in their place, just not in a P51 Mustangs.

Thanks again, we`re going to have to get all these cars together at some point so you can check it out. Its been years since a meet up happened. Shes going to the show, May 17-19. I`m going to try to find some seat covers that fit good and might give that dash cover a shot on RA to hide the crack. The paint might not be in the best of shape with the orange peel and fading wheel arches and I`m not the best at talking with strangers but it should be a good time. primergray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_e777 Posted August 11 Author Report Share Posted August 11 I might have to replace the sunroof seal surrounding the glass, a section of it is catching and starting to come apart. Is there a P/N for that seal or a good universal size to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're talking about the black seal that surrounds the glass on the exterior side or the edge that meets up flush with the roof when the glass is closed? If so, it's not available anymore. The GM part # is 12392898. Not sure of any aftermarket kits being out there but then again, I haven't looked that hard into it. I would start with your local glass shop and see if you find some answers there. This is what I would do if it were my car and situation.

rich_e777 Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 Yep sounds like it, thanks for the P/N too. A few sort of sketchy websites show one in stock so I`ll reach out and cross my fingers. Unfortunately in Nashville those glass people are really not that knowledgeable nor care to look for something if it takes more than 5 minutes. There are piles of discontinued seals and a huge selection of universal stuff just collecting dust in their warehouse too. Huge business opportunity in Nashville if I knew how to start up a company like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
