Hi
I swapped out my new SoftSeal parts for Metro Supersoft for my Conv.
kit with A pillars. The fit was MUCH better, the former parts was
bought from YearOne(I think) as part of a package for the whole car,
and this part of it had fitting isues. The A pillar post seals was
too short and wrong shaped at the top, and the roofrail strips just
didn´t add up, leaving holes of about 3/8" between them!
BTW, the trunk strip is also a heavy one, trunk is hard to get down
enough, but it seems to compress into shape by time....(3-4 years!)

Hmmmm, looks like I'll give Softseal a try. I remember someone on
the list said these worked well when I asked the question the first
time.
Thanks,

find any that were close to the originals, [dimensionally &
durometer]. I did try the more expensive OER Latex, it was a
little softer, but the trunk-lid still doesn't close correctly.>
I've noticed that my relatively new door/window seals are starting
to crack already! The car is under a car cover most of the time,
so I can only assume it's a poor quality material. I guess they
lost the recipe for good resilient seal material.... >
