Hey Y'all!

I picked up my first brick last October (a 1975 245) and all three back windows were leaking like crazy when I got it. Created some rust issues in the spare tire well, around the windows and bottom of the hatch which I repaired with OEM parts from VP. She's looking brand new now!

I was able to source new seals for the drivers side rear 3/4 window and the rear hatch which fixed those leaks, but the passengers side 3/4 seal is NLA and that old seal is still leaking like crazy. I have scoured car-part.com, ebay, FB Marketplace, IPD, etc and can't seem to find that pass side rear window seal. Does anyone have a line one one, or any suggestions of where I might look for one?

The only other place water is still penetrating is through the two license plate lights. I picked up two new OEM lights but should I apply some silicone around them before I install?

Many thanks!!
