I am looking at either SoffSeal or Metro Moulded for weatherstripping -- anyone have any experience or recommendations? Thanks!

Metro FTW!

I have used both and I like the metro better. Joe

I prefer Metro. I sell alot of it and use it on all our in house projects. I have only had 1 or 2 issues on all the cars we have done

I have to say the quality of the last two sets I got from metro was not very good at all. My issue was appearance more than fitment. One set I actually sent back. On another, I combined the best of two swats to make one good set.

I tried the 'Premium Latex' weatherstripping(no, not the condoms) from Classic Industries(OER) and they did make it much easier to close the doors and windows versus the rubber ones I initially installed, however after about 6 months these Latex ones have started cracking all over the place. My car is kept in a temperature controlled garage so there's no reason for the cracking other than product quality. My guess is that the Latex doesn't like the light stretch necessary to install them and very quickly it starts shearing apart. I can't recommend them. I will probably go back to a quality rubber replacement and just get use to the door slam.

I have never had to slam a first gen door with Metro
