Door seals and weather seals
« on: March 27, 2013 - 01:47:15 PM »
I am ready to purchase all of my weather seals for my car, 70 Challenger, and I want opinions on which brand to by. I have read prior posts that there is pros and cons between the various brands (I searched for related posts but my search didn't turn up anything). I was leaning towards the metro super-soft brand but I wanted to ask since I don't want to purchase parts twice.

I bought my 70 challenger seals from Dante (metro brand)......i had issues figuring out the correct way the seal fit into the roofrail channel, and that caused me alot of frustration getting the quarter windows adjusted properly...I have since got it figured out........ "i think"...as no one was able to really answer my questions.....so good luck with yours. I did find out that the early build challengers originally had different weatherstrip......i will see if i can find the pic someone on moparts was cool enough to post for me....so that may be important to know if you are doing an OEM super anal type resto.

I've restored several E Bodys.
In my opinion Metro Super Soft are the best on the market.  :2cents:

I have the Metro roof rail weatherstrips. Two years, no complaints yet.
