Thanks for accepting me on the site. I found your site by chance. I'm sending along a photo of my 1965 Laurentian with 38,000 actual miles, all original except for one paint job.

Robert, would you consider submitting a bunch of pictures and a story about your car to the site administrator so he could feature it at the top of the page for a month sometime? He's always looking for feature cars and certainly your car is intriguing!
Welcome here, by the way.

For your weatherstrip parts, if you Google Metro Rubber Products you will find the website for what most consider to be the best weatherstrips for our old cars. Maybe their site lists Canadian dealers? If not you could contact Metro and ask them for a list of Canadian dealers.
your model Laurention is a 4 door sedan. Same weather strip as a Chevy Belaire. Antique Chevrolet in Dundas ON should be able to help you! They have a web site.

I'd want to be sure you really need to replace your door weather-strips. Repro weather-stripping is nothing like the originals, way too hard, poor fitment, especially so with the even lower quality stuff you see for low demand items like for 4 doors. If your originals are just dry and cracked I'd try to nourish them with some rubber protectants a few times.
Also to chime in with the other comments that car is beautiful, great condition and stance. When you consider that it was a rather low priced car and in the 4 door sedan especially a very utilitarian car and yet the Pontiac stylists managed to make a very stylish look.
Welcome. Great to see a survivor stock example. Very well done.
You will find metro stuff to be high quality and same as original. But ONLY use metro brand for sure.
