Cloth door jamb seals
I am about ready to install a headliner in my 76 300d. What are the fabric mouldings around the door jambs? How does one remove them without damage as I would like to re-use them if possible. If not, where to get replacements, how much, alternatives etc?

This trim is referred to as either windlace or wireon. If you have a good local trim shop that is one source, I would consult the MB parts section of Hemmings to find other sources. Also, I would think that the supplier of your headliner would certainly be able to supply, or at the very least be able to provide you with a supplier of the windlace. Hope this helps!

Thanks Tom. It is helpful to know the proper name for things when searching for them. I am sewing my own headliner ($12 worth of vinyl from the fabric store remnant pile vs $200 plus intall), using the old one for a pattern. I try to do most things myself as I have more time than money at this point. I am stopping by a rubber supplier today in order to repair my vacuum solenoids. I will attempt to fabricate new membranes. Wish I could just buy the rubber cups (mfg VDO) but can only find the entire assy for $50-75 ea. I hate going to the dealer as they are expensive and rude.
