Commodore VS Executive 97'
I got my 1997 VS Commodore and its window and door seals are stuffed. I don't know where to get new ones, I've had a squize on the internet and haven't found too much on them. Anyone got any ideas where i can buy replacements

Bailey channel rubber are for your windows, and can be bought on eBay or rare spares.

Not sure on the door rubbers.

Door seals are there too. They’re called pinch weld and you order by the metre. I re-did mine last year.

Most of the door seals available are rubbish and are way too thick compared to the originals. These will have to slamming your doors so hard you'll bend your B pillars.

Hi, Bailey channels are the u-shaped felt lined rubbers that the window glass slides up and down in. Clark
Rubber have a few sizes sold by the metre.
Window seals are called Door Belts and are fitted on the outside of the door at the bottom of the window.
The sealing rubber goes rock solid with age.
They are very rare ! I have been trying to find some with reasonable rubber strips for several years.
It may be possible to refurb them by removing and replacing the rubber section.
Also other makes of cars have door belts. Have a look in car parks or at the wreckers. There may be some that can be modified to fit.
Good luck with that and let us know how you get on :)
Cheers.
