Sheen, Sorry I don't remember what year your car is, but. I asked questions about the same issue on the board last fall when I was trying to get them to fit in my 69. The ones I got were from SoftSeal (thru Ames) but all they are is die-cut chunk of foam (no steps on either side) when my originals were molded rubber. I had to put step cuts in both sides to get them to fit even close! Around the lens to get them to fit the shape of the stainless trim, etc. And I made a cut on the front to get them to fit without forcing the lights away from the rear panel. They were way too thick to start with, and too stiff to work properly. A total piece of garbage in my opinion! Lee > > I bought these from CI and they're just foam/sponge gaskets.
