I may be off on the years and am not positive that the Eldorado used the same profile as the Seville, but they probably did. In any case, when I first got my 1991 Seville, the weather strip around the side windows had shrunk, especially on the LH side.

I found a junk yard on line that had a Seville and had them send me the stripping from all four doors. Then, I had my body shop insert short pieces into my shrunken strips and glue it in. Not a hundred point repair, but since the stripping is not available, it sure looks better than seeing the chrome peeking out from the shrunken area.

I saw the parts in the garage the last time I was out there, and thought that I'd offer some way to make a reasonable repair since I doubt that anyone has any replacements for sale. I can send a six inch strip to the 48 contiguous states for $15, post paid. (Just about any package is $5 postage these days.) Let me know from which door you need it and what area, vertical, horizontal, top or bottom. If you need a corner, that will be $20.

It is probable that if you have more than one door with a problem, especially if the repair can be done not at a corner, that it may not be critical to order from a specific door. (Try the repair on one door, and if the piece you have left over doesn't work on the second, THEN order another piece.) I figure that a six inch piece should let you use it on more than one shrunken area. My "repairs" used about a half an inch in each area.
