My t tops leak and my old rubbers are rotting out so i am looking to buy new weatherstrip for my car. Is anyone familiar with "METRO" brand? I just want to know if that brand is reliable, or if anyone knows of a good brand that I should buy. Thanks

Re: Weatherstrip question ???
of the 2 companies that i know of that reproduce our weather stripping, (metro and sofseal) metro is the prefered. if you can afford genuine NOS gm, thats the way to go...

ive got metro ttop seals i just havent installed them yet to advise on fitment.

Metro's fine for most applications, although I prefer the GM for the t-tops (I've used both). You can still get the GM t-top seals through GM Parts Direct for under $300.

My window sweeps and door seals from 1AAuto are still new looking several years later.
