Default Best fitting weatherstrip?

Any recommendations on the best fitting/lasting weatherstripping? Steele? SoffSeal?

I used Soft Seal on a 71 T/A...They suck. I'm thinking of replacing them with Steele.

I have had the best luck with this company. I took out brand new soft seal and replaced with Metro. The doors closed much nicer after.

Weatherstripping isn’t marked by chance is it? I installed new stuff 8 or so years ago but I can’t remember what brand. It sucks though and is hard to close doors or put the windows up which makes me wonder if it’s soft seal.

Sorry for the quick hijack

I haven't read much positive about SoftSeal, I'm going to go with Metro or Steele. Anyone know what brand Ames sells?
