Do some research first, I seem to recall someone having trouble closing their trunk lid as they were too thick from a certain manufacturer? Can't remember who though?
 If all else fails phone Dave at Roseville he will know what fits and what doesn't!

Metro is the too thick harder durometer weatherstrip.
Soft Seal is thinner and softer allowing the trunk lid to shut properly.

How about the door seals , mine seen like there 1 1/2 wide. They seen big does that sound right? I have a hard time closing the windows.

I got Metro to work in my trunk but I hear softseal is an easier install.

I think they're weatherstrip is more accurate in my opinion.
Cost a little more than Metro's.

Another for Soff Seal. I ordered mine direct from them. Works a treat.

I think it's the better shape to use.

i got a 74 challenger

For 74' I think that's the right one you have.

Can't hurt to try. Put masking tape first where it would glue to trial it out and see what happens.

[elmoska]

if you wanna take a look at those also ..more weather strip on the way
