1960-1970 Ford Falcon Windshield, Back Glass & Door Seals: Sedan or Hardtop? Look for the B-Pillar First
The Falcon is one of the easiest classic Fords to own and one of the easiest to order the wrong rubber for. Ford built it as a 2-door and 4-door sedan, a wagon, a Ranchero, a convertible and, from 1963, a 2-door hardtop. The glass openings are not all the same, and neither are the seals.
Go out to the car and check one thing first: is there a pillar between the front door glass and the rear side glass (a B-pillar)? If there is, you have a sedan or wagon. If the side glass rolls down to an open gap with no post, you have a hardtop or convertible. Almost every seal below depends on that answer. It's how the manufacturer splits the parts.
Front windshield seal, 1960-1965
- Sedan, wagon or Ranchero (has a B-pillar): 1960-65 Falcon/Comet sedan & wagon windshield seal (wcr584). Fits 1960-65 Falcon and Mercury Comet 2-door and 4-door sedans and wagons, plus the 1960-65 Ranchero. The vendor is clear: it fits only sedan and wagon models with a B-pillar and does not fit the 1963-65 hardtop. It has a groove for your chrome trim.
- 1963-65 2-door hardtop or convertible: 1963-65 Falcon/Comet hardtop & convertible windshield seal (wcr635d). For the 2-door hardtop and convertible only. It works with chrome trim and will not fit sedans with a B-pillar.
We don't currently have a verified windshield seal to recommend for the 1966-70 Falcon. If that's your car, ask us and we'll check.
Rear window (back glass) seal
- 1960-62 sedan: the early sedan rear seal is currently out of stock with our supplier.
- 1963-65 2-door or 4-door sedan: 1963-65 Falcon sedan rear window seal (wcrdb3134). It fits 1963-65 Falcon 2- and 4-door sedans and the 1964 only Mercury Comet 2- and 4-door sedan, and it accepts factory trim moldings.
- 1963-65 2-door hardtop: 1963-65 Falcon/Comet 2-door hardtop rear window seal (wcrdb3198). It accepts factory trim moldings.
- 1966-70 2-door sedan: 1966-70 Falcon 2-door sedan rear window seal (wcrdb3522). It also fits the 1966-67 Fairlane 2-door sedan. It is for 2-door sedans with a B-pillar only and does not fit hardtops.
- 1966-70 4-door sedan: 1966-70 Falcon 4-door sedan rear window seal (wcr db3529). It also fits the 1966-67 Fairlane and Comet 4-door sedan. It has a trim groove and fits 4-door sedans only.
- Ranchero, 1961-65: 1961-65 Ranchero back window seal (wbld1042t). Note that this one does not accept molding trim: it's a plain black rubber surround.
A note for 1962 and 1963 sedan owners: our supplier labels the early sedan rear seal "1960-62½" and the later one "1963½-65," but their descriptions list whole model years. If your sedan was built around the 1962-63 changeover, contact us before you order. The same goes for a 1960 Ranchero, because that listing's title and description don't agree on whether 1960 is included.
Door seals, 1960-1965
- 2-door sedan or Ranchero: 1960-65 Falcon 2-door sedan & Ranchero door seal set (dwp2311-60). Left and right front door seals.
- 1963-65 2-door hardtop or convertible: 1963-65 Falcon/Comet hardtop & convertible door seal set (dwp2410-63). Left and right front door seals. The vendor notes it does not fit the 2-door sedan.
