weatherstripping vert

I paid $389 for the windows and rear bow weatherstripping, and I was happy just to find such high quality products....plus Metro gives a 15 yr warrantee on their products.

Don't get me wrong. We are very, very fortunate to have this available to us now. I remember bluez28 and a few people begging hawks for this stuff.

haha, my car only leaks where the top has some lil tears and the back window. My original weatherstripping is great since it was taken care of.

YES! that's it! i just wish they had a picture to show exactly which part goes where kinda like Hawks does. looks like they have more parts available than Hawks does. someone needs to sticky this!

i'll be ordering from them soon, as i've waited long enough for Hawks to come out with more convertible pieces

Do you guys know what is the best stuff to put on the weatherstripping to keep it from drying out?
