Ok guys who did purchase from and what was your experience like.


Thanks

 

I purchased a trunk weather strip for my '67 Delta 88 from Steele Rubber Products. It was the correct fit for my application. No more leaks!

I got Teepo's trunk seal and door weatherstrip from Year One. The door rubber is still very hard. I usually have to slam the doors when I close them or they bounce back open. I hate doing that with the windows rolled up. I'm afraid the glass will break one of these times. It hasn't softened up in 2 years.....

 

I bought all of mine through Amazon.com. They had the Metro brand rubber. Fit great, nice and soft and the price couldn't be beat.

 

Steele Rubber Products!!! Best customer service I've ever experienced. The holes to mount the tail gate rubber they sent for the Silver Bullet ('68 FlatTop) didn't align, but was correct for a '69. Called them, they had me ship it back COD, with holes marked properly from the SB, used it for a pattern for '68's, and resent me a new one. Fit perfectly, no leaks. What more can you ask for?

 

I think that is like all reproduction weatherstrip. That is part of why the NOS stuff sells for at least $800 for each piece

 

The two large suppliers ( manufacturers ) are SofSeal and Metro. I have used Metro in the past. It looks closest to NOS, good fit and pliable such that trunk and doors close easily. Bob Harris who owns Camaro Specialties is now also reproducing weatherstrip. And I have heard very positive things about it. Supposedly, it is made the same way as NOS. He would have trunk weatherstrip. Don't know if he is making the door weatherstrip for A-bodies

 

I've used Steel and Soffseal. I got the door weatherstrips from Steel and was pretty disappointed. The main seal was pretty good but the ends were terrible. They were very "spongy" and fell apart in no time. I ordered a set from Soffseal and they were MUCH better. I'm happy to say that Steel refunded my money after I explained the issue. The other parts I've gotten from Steel were good so maybe I got a bad batch or maybe this particular set i just not made well. I've never used Metro but after checking their website just now, they don't have much for my car.
