73 Weatherstrip Advice Pls. OEM Steel?

Recommended Posts

I know this has been kicked around but after searching the Board I can't find the answer I need. Is there anyone who makes Door and Pillar Strips that has the correct Steel or reinforcement molded inside the rubber like OEM? I bought some but am not happy with the performance. The Windows drag the rubber down and it's just a mess to get them to work right. Any recommendations or experiences appreciated.

Then one with the steel insert is the way the originals were made, and are a little more durable.

Just make sure the steel track is free from any loose rust and corrosion before you install the replacement. A liberal amount of clear silicone sealant will help the replacement slide in easier, and also bond the new seal into the track once it cures, in addition to keeping moisture out.
