drop the soffseal stuff in the trash can and get the metro supersoff stuff.
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

Softseal worked fine on my Duster and easy to install. The only thing was a slight difference in length at the end from the old what I guess were originals.

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...

I was leaning towards what Mike suggested and using both the doors seals and the roof seals that I removed since the car is low miles and was mostly garaged from I can tell.

Mine were Metro SuperSoft Seals from what I remeber.
