Hi Paul,

I've used Steele Rubber for the door window fuzzies and the rubber sweeps. They worked out just fine. For all the other weatherstripping I used SoftSeal products, which I believe is what Year one and other vendors sell. All worked well except the trunk weatherstrip. I think that the package may have been mislabeled.

Anybody else?

I have been using a mix of weatherstripping from different makers. Mostly Steele so far for door/quarter mouldings, roofrail, doors, trunk. I used Metro for the large ventwing weatherstrips, and Steele for the small vertical seals.

CARS, www.oldbuickparts.com   , once advertised they sold Steele products for 15% off.
Might be worthwhile doing a price check before buying directly from Steele.

thanks. i had used steele for the quarter glass to front door glass strip and it is the correct demetions but hard as a rock. i had good luck with the door glass front run channel from opg http://www.opgi.com/p/weatherstripping-seals/156/100/GRC0017.html these were the only ones that conformed to the butterfly window frames correctly.

Metro and Soffseal are the two manufactures. Steele is only a re seller.

Steele certainly is a manufacturer, and a big one. The 2006 catalog I have here has over 500 pages of rubber items!
