Anyone know how they compare? The local chevy shop only has Metro.

Thanks!

I prefer Metro, used it on our Chevelle and Monte Carlo with good results.

I have used Both.. The application and fit ther both GREAT .. But there is one difference
Metro is made from a softer foam compound..
So yuor trunk seal ,door seal, ect will fit better and need little adjustment. Where as soft Seal the Foam is Denser and the crush aqbility needs to be memorized.
Like a door seal.. at frist you'll have the striker adjusted in to pull the door flush with Soft Seal . .but after some time you can put it back !!!
Is one a Better product?? in the long run ???????in the Short term Metro seems to have the edge ??

METRO!!! I used Soft Seal on my '66 ragtop doors and had to SLAM doors to shut them. Replaced with Metro and they close fine now. graemlins/hurray.gif
