I have been getting some good advice off of these forums about weather stripping and where i can find it. The products i have found where mostly repo; so my question is how well does repo weather stripping fit and who has the best brand?
I got mine from 1A Auto Parts online, it's not the best (it will rip if you're not carefull), but it fit very well and is holding up (so far). For $133 I'm not complaining. That included the upper window and lower door pieces for each side.
I see the price has gone up to $154

www.weatherstripspecial.com is where i found a good kit for cheap, but I haven't found any product reviews of it yet. From my searching on here, it seems like it is best to stay away from Ebay....

I bought mine from J.C. Whitney , they are aftermarket . They do not sell all the pieces. Seem to be O.K. , I"ve heard the original equipment hold up better. Mine have been on around 4 years..
