There's is a good quality product, but not all of the screw holes line up. No prob. if u have self taping screws!

Classic, yearone and a bunch others are soft seal. Does it keep the water out? Well the car only sees water from when I wash it but I've never had a drop inside. I had to get new stripping because it was so dry rotted the old stuff hardened and fell off.

soft seal is good **** might not be perfect line up but what aftermarket one is but i think they have a 15 year warrenty and you cant beat that deal.

recently i purchused my hatch seal with the soft seal and its keeping the water out. so i might break down and replace all of the weatherstripping.

i had bought my metro brand stuff from advance auto a year ago (dont think everything is still available though) and it all looked like quality stuff. also was able to purchase some of the stock stuff from the dealer (hatch had finally rotted away).

but it seems many have had good things to say about metro, so you should have nothing to worry about.

Classic Industries sells "OER" and guarantees a perfect correct "OEM" fit or your money back. I just ordered a set for my 84 Trans Am with T-Tops. When it gets here, we'll see how "accurate" they are.
