Trust me, you WILL be hours ahead of the game when it comes times to adjust the doors and glass. I buy it either from Holgar at Supercar Restorations in NY . Or Randy at Dixie Restorations parts in Ga. Both friends of mine and both easy to deal with

The only thing was a slight difference in length at the end from the old what I guess were originals. 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

Both friends of mine and both easy to deal with Yeah the SoffSeal was junk,...the Metro SuperSoft worked out OK for my 70 Charger, probally fine for a hand crank window car, but it was aggrivating setting up my power window set-up to have the glass seal properly on the motor power,....spent the whole day "playing" with it,....door seals are just horrible from ALL the manufacturers, I ended up using the original, with no issues, other than age of the pcs, the repro seals wouldn't allow the door to close without slamming the crap out of it, and in some cases, wouldn't close at all...
