    Are you sure your windows are aligned right? Do they fit snuggly with the seals?

    check old posts i think there is more involved then just screwing new rubber on was car repainted did u take channel out or just rubber i think u need seam filler or something inbetween body and the metal channel that holds weatherstrip

    If you got your weather stripping from Dearborn classics like me it's just how they are. I have tried countless times to get them to seal but have had no such luck. Good thing my car lives in a garage.

    well i was thinking on getting mine there but i found out here in Oklahoma city at obsolete parts they make the weather stripping there and felt with chrome trim little higher then dearborn but better quality, been buying all my stuff there since i tried to order some stuff from dearborn and everything was on back order, and other customers there was also complaining how dearborn has went down hill in the past few years

    Also let me add I had no issues with the window fuzzies that were included in their weather strip kit. The only thing I remember when I ordered the kit was the fuzzies were on back order and they were the last weather stripping part I received from them. They are also the Crome ones like the car had from the factory.
