at the bottom corners of the rear window(weatherstrip) is comming lose on our 89 XR7. i went to a ford dealer and the guy told me ford no longers makes the weatherstripping.... any ideas where i might be able to find some? thanks jace
 
The 89 XR7 molding is discontinued. It was a 2 piece unit that sucked. So Ford updated the design with a one peice molding for the later years. Thing is you have to remove the window to install the new molding. I bought one a few months ago, they are about $90. (!) I don't remember the part number, but given some time I could probably find it. Just ask for the molding for a 96 Cougar.

I also know where there is one in a junkyard in a newer cougar that is in perfect condition (new design). I'm sure you can find them around. Trouble is going to be getting the window and molding out in one piece as they are glued in with Urethane which is some super tough crap.

Hey I have the same problem. Where did you find the 96 version to buy? Thank you!
