Door weatherstrip? Best?
Back in 1990, I installed 4 door weatherstrips i purchased from Year One. I believe they were Soffseal. They are on my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Custom wagon. They are a bit dried out, (28 years old), so I am looking to replace them again. I want the best I can get, fit, function, appearance, ease of door closing. Which brands are you all using? Soffseal, Metro, and Steele Rubber products all make the 1964-67 GM "A" body station wagon seals. Thanks for your input.

Not on Pontiacs, but I've had good luck with Steele Rubber Company.

Winter of 2016 I installed Metro Supersoft weathersprips. They installed easily and after a year they look great and the doors close well (still a bit more push needed than the old ones, to be expected). Because I installed them in the winter, the doors were very difficult to close. But after sitting closed all winter, in the warmer spring/summer they worked out great. As a side note, for the weatherstrips that attach to the door - at the ends where the molding is large, I added some contact cement and taped them down so they wouldn't push out. That worked out great.

I used super soft from metro. I'm very happy with them. If I remember how to post a picture I'll post the packing image

I've used Metro, Soffseal, and Steele Rubber on a half dozen cars. Steele Rubber is the only vendor I'll buy from if it's available through them. Metro was too hard and Soffseal disintegrated within a few years of regular use.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
