What weatherstripping, and what car, what year....as it's hit or miss with each manufacturer, no clear cut "best" out there

69 Superbee Window and door frame weatherstripping. If there both the same as far as fit goes then I will just go to Soffseal seeing I am only approx. 12 miles from them. Thanks for repling guys!

The Metro A pillar rubber for the vent window fits perfect, just as good as factory,....door weatherstrip,.....goodluck, I've tried all the mfgs offerings on the 68-70 B body doors year after year on my own rides, and customers cars hoping they get better,...always end up using NOS/used originals, roof rail stripping isn't bad from Metro, a little smaller in profile, but seals well, you'll find you have to adjust the glass stops a tad for more height to seal, no biggy

Dave,

I used all Soffseal on the green cuda and it sucked, took it all back off and replaced with the metro supersoft( got it all from Holgar at Supercar Restorations btw ) and it was a night a day difference.

I'm getting ready to put the Metro stuff on the 69 Charger in the next week or so.
I'll let you know how it goes and your welcome to ride over an ck it out for yourself once it's on

Thanks Bill, Let me know when it's done and I'll ride down on a Saturday and check it out. Is this at your shop?
