Trunk & Door Weatherstrip
 

I was hoping to re-use my originals but I think they are too far gone to save. I did a search on this site but most of the posts go back 5-10 years on this topic. What do you guys recommend as the best replacement weatherstrip? I may still hunt for NOS, but want to know the highest quality option beside that.
Thanks

SoffSeal,hands down.

IMHO FOR the first gen F bodies the best I have used were the OER LATEX FOAM Weatherstrips which also have the metal backers molded into the ends as originals, as far as the trunk weatherstrip I have not used anything except NOS since 2010 when I couldn't get the doors or trunk to close and look correct.
The last SoffSeal weatherstrips I used needed to compress more than they would ever compress, removed them and installed NOS and everything closed like designed (no excessive effort) and did not leak.


AS AN ASIDE... these are originals which were re-dipped into black latex and then cured out in the oven at 175 deg, after curing I sprayed them with mold release agent and installed, still on the car up at Rick Hendrick's after 4 years.

I haven't personally tried them, but these guys:

are getting good reviews.

I also used SoffSeal on two of my cars with no problems. Had to slam the door a little harder on the Camaro, but after a while, the doors closed fine once the seals had broke in.
