Here is another thread about weatherstrip. I remember I said which ones were junk, so searched it and the metro were the junk ones. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1Seems hit or miss with them. Note that thread is about b-body ones, but just figured if those are bad the other ones can be also.

Thank you for that link. That is exactly what I was afraid of.
I have run into more junk parts this last year or than ever before. It is really getting old. Good money for supposedly good parts, but they are total crap. And the manufacturer has to know of the issue. Metro has made these for years and years. They just keep making crap.
I may be able to modify these enough to work. We'll see.
Master, again and still

Seems like an inch too long is better than too short. If it's a show car I can see your displeasure but if it's a driver does it matter?
I think mine were Metro and yes they were off in length too.
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.

Yes, were paying for a part that is suppose to be as good if not better than the original.
I ended up putting the ORIGINAL window gasket back in my Duster because the Metro pieces fit so poor it caused an air leak which shrieked going down the highway.

Exactly, at least on my post car it doesn't matter if its too long or too short. It simply won't fit because the ends are different than the middle sections. Also with the new ones(different brand) I can actually roll up the windows without having to open the door.
