I went to get in my '79 Cutlass calais today.
I opened the door, to find literally, three inches of water on the floor. The floor mat was honest to god floating like a raft.

What kind of weather stripping does this car take? I see tons of different kinds that apparently do the same thing on JCWHITNEY, but I have no idea what it takes. I don't want to pull it off during this storm we're having at the moment, even with a tarp over the car, it still gets moist inside.

PLEASE, for the love of my mint interior, help!
These are the categories I was looking at, on JCWHITNEY, any ideas what would be most appropriate for this car?

Thanks in advance guys, I really appreciate having fellow Olds' gearheads to turn to.

Look at the bright side, it shows your floorboards are not rusted through.

Its very possible, high winds forced water into an area that would not ordinarily leak. Over (against gravity) a door glass and past an interior seal, for example.

My '87 has a leak that only shows up at the car wash. I have never been able to make it leak, so, it no longer goes there.

No carwash = no leak = no problem.


Different designs to fit different cars. Can't seal if it doesn't fit.


First you'll need out where the leak(s) originated.


Makes sense to me.

When you can, use a bucket and sponge to get the water out. Pull the carpets out to air dry, then remove what water is left. Check the trunk at the same time.


They have not been known for selling the highest quality replacement parts.

Supercar Specialty would be a better choice.

I managed to track down the collector who originally sold me the car!
Great, great guy.

He pointed me in the right direction, over to www.steelerubber.com and pointed out that the Cutlass Calais coupe and Cutlass Supreme (same year) are the same body, and thus, the same seals. This is why I couldn't find anything other than stuff for a four door 'cutlass calais'.

You guys should check out that site, I had no idea it even existed, and I found it quite helpful.

Though offtopic, I've also ordered a Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40 series muffler.
Video of my Cutlass without the muffler, and with the new Deltaflow coming as soon as they arrive!

I fixed your link so it works

Interesting site, I found some rubber parts for my car that could stand to be replaced.

I got my order last night, I'm really impressed.
The price seems high, ($120 w/ shipping), but they are quality parts and my shipping which was supposed to take 7 to 10 days took only two days.
