Had a bunch of rain the last three days and today it was clear so I was going to throw in some new kick panels in my '56. The cardboard ones fell apart finally but I found a bunch of water on the sill plates front and rear as well as the carpet in the front around the seal plate is drenched in water. Guess its time to replace the exterior door weather seals.
Question is who makes the best weather seals? Seems like where I look the pricing is around $200 - $250 and I dont want a repeat on my F150 that didnt last a year due to the type of rubber they used. I was going to go with Dennis-Carpenter but they are priced the same as Macs which is $225 for the four door set. I have seen Rubber the Right Way before in classic/antique car magazines bragging about how they use the best materials and made like original and they have the set for $220 front and rear.
Just wondering who has the best rubber weather stripping that has been seen personally on here, car wont be restored for a while still but I need to glue in new weather stripping to stop the water from rotting out my otherwise solid floor pans. Also would like recommendations on weather stripping glue, I have used that yellow stuff years ago but it never would hold and would release in the texas heat. Rubber the Right Way has some glue recommended but not sure if that is any better, since this weather stripping is entirely held on by being glued in place I really need a recommendation on something that works and can withstand texas heat and not let loose.
