I just recvd. my order from metro and I compaired them to the soft seal which I recvd. about a month ago. Both brand new still in the packages, Metro hands down a better product.

I havent used the latex yet, have heard both good and bad. Ive used Metro for about 10 years and have always been happy with it's fit.

There is a company that is making 68-69 weatherstrips that are hollow. I think their name is Precision and they are soft. I don't have their # but I saw the weatherstrips at carlisle thursday. I would have bought some to try but they were only on display. I did have their # a while back and spoke to somone about making 67s but they said it wasn't worth tooling up for a one year only product

GaryL had problems with the latex trunk seal absorbing water. Haven't heard of any problems with doors or roofrail pieces. I have latex door pieces still in the package. I plan to install them sometime this summer....after I get my motor running, again.

We use and sell Metro. I won't use anything else unless Metro does not make it. I have been very happy with it.
