Trunk weather stripping.
All the weather stripping on my sons 67 camaro is cracked and dryrotted. Looking for recommendations on the company/vendor for the best fit from anybody who had experience replacing these. All the parts around the side windows including vent and especially the trunk. Thanks, Mark

Most of the repro brands are hit and miss, to be honest. NOS GM is pricey, but nothing is softer or fits anywhere near as good. (Soft Latex is what is needed)

I used Soft Seal 18 years ago to replace all mine on my 69 Camaro with no issues. Before that, I used them again for my 72 Nova SS and everything fit good. Still soft after all these years.

I used Soft Seal on a Camaro about 15 years ago and had to add GM's Emulsifying Silicone to the trunk seal to help soften it to where it could close without slamming it. A lot of times it has to do with how the lid is setup, but I tried the repro soft seals again on the green car 2 years ago and had the same issue with them being too stiff for closing.
Switched to GM NOS latex trunk seals from the '80s (non-white string) which was very soft and crinkly and got an excellent trunk seal and a soft closing. Doing that exact same thing with the yellow car I am doing now and recently scored another good trunk seal from a member here for a very reasonable cost. OER now offers a premium latex door seal and window seal kit that is said to be the best closing product for Camaro doors and windows outside of the costly NOS door rubbers. I have a set to install on this same car but I am a few weeks away from installing this stuff. I will report back when I have the OER door/window kits installed.
