weatherstrip choices.

Although quality control wasn't great in 69. My car still had original paint on it, or at least the part they painted. Didn't get painted at the bottom of the tail pan very well. Runs in front of both rear wheels. Seems like none of them had the parting line properly aligned going from the fender to the door. Because the front sheet metal was painted separate from the body, I have even seen mismatched paint on one of the metalics. I was just messing with my instrument cluster a couple of weeks ago and realized one of the mounting holes was never drilled or pierced. I guess when the worker went to put that screw in, it was too much trouble to slow things down so they could drill a hole.

While I want may car pretty much correct, I am not nuts about NOS everything. I do have some NOS parts that are going on my car, but that is only because I bought a bunch of parts in 1977 knowing I would want to paint it and make it new again some day.
So, are you working on a 67? If so, I guess you can't give me a personal recommendation on the 69 roof rail w/strips.

later NOS parts fit worse than the new and improved Chinese parts. I used Metro weatherstrip and it looks and seems pretty good to me. Its 10 years old and never a door problem. NOS door weatherstrip is crazy money IMO.
