Re: 1961 galaxie

Interestingly, Carpenter's site does not show the orientation for the part listed for your ride as it does for mine; they seem to have the most positive reviews and my experience with their parts are also very positive.
 
I've also read good reviews about Steele Rubber, but they claim the part for my '63 Ford should be applied to the deck lid which I guarantee you is not how the original is mounted on the ride in my sig.

So imho, this book is a must have:
