I know this has been beat to death, but what are the best weather strip brands? I have heard mixed review on soffseal and was curious as to what our expierience here was.

Also, I count 15 pieces: 2 for each door glass, 3 for the vent windows, 1 for the door bottom, 1 for the glassline on the roof, all this times 2 and then the trunk. Am I missing anything? Where is the best place to get a whole set? I am not really interested in the cheapest stuff, but rather in good quality rubber.

Thanks,
David

2 for each quarter window
and one for the front vertical run of each window (where it sits in the track on the wing window
and there is a small piece that sits in the door jamb, its shaped like the letter U and goes around the front edge of the rear quarter window
and the seal for the vent/wing window is all one piece

thats all for a 67, which Im guessing you have because you said vent window

dont know about which brand to use

Watch out and get the best for the door seals, they were out of stock on the latex ones and with the ones I have (OER rubber)I still cannot get the door to close properly.

David, I was hoping someone would name a kit that was the best, as I'm going to need weatherstripping myself soon. I would be nice to get a "good" kit somewhere instead of piecing it all together. Over the last two years here, it seems Softseal was the number one until about 6-months ago, now I've seen people say Metro is better. Don't know if that will help you, but like Dave says, the latex seals are supposed to be the best.

Does anyone know if there is an all latex kit avaialable?

Neither Soffseal or Metro make all the necessary parts but they do have some parts for the same application. I agree with Dave on the latex door and trunk seals (not made by Soffseal or Metro). Also, only one of the two companies makes the convertible header rubber but both make the a-pillar rubbers. Get both from the same company for the best fit. I think it's Metro.

Thanks John. Looks like I'll have piece together everything that I need.

old post, but is there a better option out there now, going to need a set for a 67 coupe

I just installed a trunk weatherstrip and roof rails weather striping. I bought them out of National Parts Depot catalog, they were softseals, and they we the easiest thing I have ever installed on the car. Longer than necessary so I could cut to a perfect fit. I used a flat screwdriver that is kinda rounded and blunt and they worked right in.
