Hi Kurt;
There are a few places to pick up the Mylar type channel
chrome. Most auto glass shops will carry the short roll that goes to the side windows on a 1972/3 Chevy Suburban. Cost can be around $45.00 for the length of chrome strip.
If the rubber seal for the windshield is hard then getting a new one in will be very difficult. What I have seen some do is cut the edges of the Mylar chrome strip and glue it in.
The door window scraper (parts manual calls them "Weather
strip right and left door glass" and "Weather strip right and felt door glass inside". The outside weather strip is stainless steel with a rubber scraper. The inside of the rubber scrapper has felt on it.
Another owner said the later Hondas have a inside weather strip that fits with some trimming.

Re: [anzhonda600owners] Re:
carburetor idle fuel mixture
Since we are on chrome window do-hickies does anyone have a solution for the chrome strips on the top of the doors at the base of the windows on a coupe. Also the rubber that seals/scrapes the window as it goes up and down for a coupe and sedan
Sorry for all the technical terms:-)
Thanks
Kurt
