PLEASE HELP!! weatherstriping

[bbcharger71]

Can anyone tell me where I can get some weatherstriping for my charger without paying $600? All I need are the doors and trunk.

Dante's or SuperSoft

If its for an SE 73 or 74, I just picked this one up off ebay the other day. Will let you know the quality once I receive it.

[Kernel Sanders]

Yes will let you know... I just checked my tracking # and its in Customs now so I'll likely get it Wednesday or Thursday next week as Mondays a holiday.

Cheers

metro supersoft. you cant go wrong with them. they are expensive but i had softseal on my last car and had to slamm the doors for 16 years till i sold it. my gtx now has metro supersoft and all my doors shut like a dream. i will never buy anything else. this is just my opinion. remember you will get what you pay for if you buy bargain. hope this helps.

I just ordered trunk seal from rocpar, I do believe its metro for 28 free shipping. I'll let ya know how it works out

Well I just installed all the seals. Good quality and easy instalation and fits perfectly!

Doors are a little stiffer to close but not overly. The trunk however is now difficult to close reqiring a good slam. I do hope that it will not take a long time to begin conforming better to the trunklid, time will tell.

That's good to know. I was thinking about it and I figured these would be just fine for my application. It's not like this car will ever see any kind of weather. Plus I won't be using it a lot. I just strictly need the seals to keep from chipping that new paint. Thanks for the info Kernel.

I see that that's metro the same parts i installed on my car. Funny. My trunk wont close either after i installed my gasket. I will try to re-adjust my latch or get the gasket to crush and conform somehow. Other than that its good stuff.

The trunk seal is getting better and beginning to conform... The heat and humidity is helping! lol

Just like all rubber I guess.... It just need to be broken in. Thanks for the update.
