I don't have any personal experience yet, but I hear that this stuff:

http://www.metrommp.com/

is superior to this stuff:

http://www.soffseal.com/

I'm sure there will be some more experienced opinions here soon. :)

I'm gonna go with the Metro Moulded products when I order mine, if I ever get to that point. :boring:

I purchased the Metro brand after reading all of the archives.

I installed it on my 68 Chevelle 2 weeks ago and it worked out great - nice stuff.

I purchased it from:

Hope this helps

Yep, Metro is heads above the Soffseal stuff. Just put it on my 72 all over....fits excellent.

X3 on Metro, the soft seal stuff is too firm, had problems with my doors not wanting to shut even after a years time for it to compress. So I replaced it all with Metro, all is well now!

Has anyone used Metro on a sedan? I have a '68 2 door sedan and have yet to get the soff seal to seal off. Thanks

Hi Harold 68,

I used the Metro brand on the 68 Chevelle 2 door Sport Coupe which I believe should be very close to a Chevelle 2 door sedan in terms of weatherstripping.

It seals really well - I was quite impressed with how easy the job went. I received the door seals, roof rail seals, and trunk seals from Metro as part of the K68ADHT kit from Dano Enterprises (total cost $159.00).

i ordered all my weatherstriping from n.p.d. & 95% of it was soft seal. no problems yet

+1 haven't had any problems with the softseal products yet...I used them in a 69 camaro and a 67 firebird, worked out fine.I have no experience with the metro line either so i cant compare...

I have read posts that had people not getting a good seal in their sedan/ElCamino doors.
It just dawned on me recently that perhaps the door weatherstripping was being installed on the wrong door.

I believe the high point of the seal would be toward the body of the car.
I can see how one would put them on the wrong door---as the high point would seem to "LOOK" right with the high point to window door frame edge.

I have sofseal, but I haven't put it on yet...

Another vote for Metro :thumbsup:

For the trunk weather seal METRO hands down! I installed the Softseal because it came with the kit. I could not close my trunk. Metro has the hollow air channels that collapse, just like the ones from the factory. I learned the hard way on the difference in fit and finish.

Just finished installing Metro door weather stripping on my 68 2 door sedan and they work great no leaks, alot better than the soft seal that I had installed a few years ago they always leaked. I want to thank lakerider57 for telling me about Dano Enterprises where I got the Metro. Now I need to find a good brand of vent window seals to get those leaks fixed. Does anyone know where I can get good quality ones? Thanks for your help.
