Ss with most vehicles its age mine needs new door, window and rear window weatherstripping. I'm finding several companys have them but looking to see if anyones bought them and had good or bad luck so I don't make more work for myself.

I can't tell you who's kit is the best, but I know one place I wil never buy it from again, JC Whitney. I purchased the inner door trim for mine when doing some body work and had the inside trim out, (necessary to install the weather stripping). According to their catalog it was just like the original weather strip. However, it is not and gave two problems:

1. the shape of it is different. If you look at the end of the original stripping for a 83 Ford the weather strip has sort of a bullet profile, JCWs is square.

2. Not being the same shape ment the trim doesn't fit just right since it is designed for the other shape.

3. Not being the same shape causes the doors to have a problem shutting. I've tried adjusting them but tono effect. So the doors have to be slammed so they will latch.

So any way that is my experience with JCW weather stripping.

Good luck,

:)>-
