I need info on the original inner body hatch weatherstrip. Is it a three or four piece set and how does it compare to the repro set sold by MSA and others?

Richard, the outer hatch weatherstripping on both my former yellow car and my current red car were original, and were the one-piece style, not the three-piece.

That said, there is no clear consensus which 240Zs came with which style, or no consensus that I have seen.

weatherstrip on mine seems to be a four piece set....the top, both sides and the bottom. May it be the way it is molded on the original to look as a four pieces set?

There are no splits at the joints after 37 years.....maybe they were glued together at the factory during installation. It is the reason I only want a piece of the original weatherstrip coming from a parts car.

Oh! I mis-read. I was thinking of the outer weatherstrip. The inner is considered one-piece, but is—as you've noticed—molded as several different parts that are bonded together.

I have the repro on my car. It's not quite as nice as a factory seal, perhaps, but it firs and looks fine. It is also bonded together like the original.

I REALLY need a part of the original one of about 31". I have the expertise to repair original sets and match broken pieces with the real original set up as per the factory standards.

I hope you pick up my point.

I am not starting a weatherstrip business......I just want a piece of JUNK about 31" coming from the side hatch of a parts car.

It is my personal car.

Nothing more.......

You asked for info in the first post. If your intent was to ask for a part, this should really be in the classifieds, not in the general forums.
