That is a definite possibility,Vern. The gaps are tight and consistent but I really haven't looked to see if the doors might be adjusted too low. It could be as both doors seem to be leaking in the same spots. Clint Hooper LT5 Registry Director Wichita Falls,Tx (940) 855-6636 '91 ZR-1 Callaway Aero

Clint, You might want to check if the door is adjusted right. When I put the new weather stripping on my 64 elky I could still feel air coming in at the top. Found out the door was about 3/8 of an inch to low and wasn't letting the weather stripping seal. Just a thought. Vernon - Original Messa

It could also be that the door is not aligned to the body properly and is not sealing well. Could be caused by a sagging hinge or loose latch even if the door has never been off the car. John Nasta -Original Message- Ok,so it wasn't a dumb question. Thanks for the info,John. I guess my

I know that the "strato-bench" (bench bottom w/ bucket-style back and an armrest in the center) was an option in various Oldsmobile models starting around 1966, and was standard in Olds convertibles at least up until 1972. I don't think it was offered in the Malibu (or any other GM A-body), but the
