    Anyone have leads on where to get weather-stripping for four door post 1970 Buick Electra 225? I'm coming up empty for the pieces for the top of the doors and everything for the rear doors and windows.

    Here are all Steele-Rubber products for your 1970 Electra 225 sedan:

    By the way, the car in your avatar looks like a hardtop sedan, not a sedan.
    (but the photo is really small....)
    The link above is only showing sedan products.

    So in case it is a hardtop sedan:

    Thank you.

    Yes, it's a Hardtop; there's a door post.

    However, it looks like I'll need to buy weather-stripping by the foot and cut to fit.

    Hardtop is without the doorpost or pillar between the front and the rear doors.

    If your Electra 225 Custom has a doorpost that goes all the way to the roof of the car, it's a sedan.
    Check your VIN, it should start with 4 64 39 if it's a hardtop sedan.
    The 1970 Electra 225 Custom 4 door sedan has a VIN that starts with 4 84 69:

    From the 1970 Buick brochure, a hardtop sedan.
    If you lower the windows on one side, there's no post visible:
