69mustang Apr 26th, 08, 04:21 PM 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.
n269chvy Apr 26th, 08, 08:20 PM Thanks, anyone else
RamAirDave Apr 26th, 08, 10:01 PM 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.
blk/gld 68 Apr 26th, 08, 10:10 PM i bought soft seal it sucks! way too thick, hard to close the doors. the car isn't even on the road yet,ripped it all out, and ordered meto stuff just showed up yesterday, got one side in and the door shuts fine!
anybody want a deal on new softseal let me know!
green z Apr 27th, 08, 07:11 AM 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
X33D80 Apr 27th, 08, 07:14 AM FYI - I just noticed yesterday that Summit Racing sells the Metro brand weatherstrips.
n269chvy Apr 27th, 08, 07:19 AM Has anyone had any bad experience with the latex, I was reading a post that said they a assorbed water like a spong, is this correct ?
n269chvy Apr 27th, 08, 07:24 AM Could not find anything on Precision
Unreal Apr 27th, 08, 08:01 AM 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.
n269chvy Apr 27th, 08, 09:55 AM I had heard that they assorb water, any improvements on them
Musclerodz Apr 27th, 08, 10:46 PM We use and sell Metro. I won't use anything else unless Metro does not make it. I have been very happy with it.
n269chvy Apr 28th, 08, 05:08 AM Thanks for all the info
