http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/N ... %20G60.htm They'll have some of what you need. I have heard though that the door w/strip they provide is too thick - can't shut the door afterward. The window run felt is pretty common in the resto world - it's not specific to the Patrol. Vents? Good luck. Rear door glass? I've never seen those go bad, but still, good luck.

Weather strip for the windshield vents: This is what I did, and worked wonderfully. I got rid of the old gaskets altogether, and then applied to the vent side regular rubber foam insulating gasket available at any hardware store like HomeDepot (1/4" wide by 3/16" thick). If you put like this, the gasket is never exposed to the sun, so it will last very long. It seals much better than the original, at cost a couple of bucks to replace. I'll try to post a picture.

I was about to order door seals from Scott's in Australia but came across the post about them being too thick and problems closing the door afterward. anyone have the goods on this? is it possible? I though the KL60 and CG60 were pretty well the same beastie - at least re doors - any idea why the seals would not work? Thanks.

Vike-I'm in the same boat, and if possible I'd like to use something as close as original as opposed to the generic poor quality weatherstripping from Autozone or Checker-Anyone have suggestions? it is getting cold!
