Metro Moulded I think our host PY carries them. Every GM one I have is hard as a rock and falling apart right out of the box.

After ordering several sets of GM gaskets and returning them I ordered the metros and was pleased with them.

I orderd mine thru 1AAuto.com. They sell on ebay also. They fit very well. The only problem I had was getting the damn T-tops back on with the new weather strip... I did it on a cool night. I know if you let it sit in the sun for a while they get soft and you'll have no problems.

Did the Metros work out well?? Would you recommend them? How do I reach them?
I'm looking for the very best, closest to original weatherstrips for my 77 Hurst hatches that I can find. Thanks.

i'm very happy with them.
fit was good, material is nice, no leaks, no wind noise, etc.

some tips so they're out here and available:
1 - start at the top corner of the a-pillar and work outwards from there.
if you dont you will regret it big time - getting the "chunk" of rubber in place is critical.
use ****loads of the adhesive.
they rec. a 3m part # i dont have handy but is on the packaging of the strips.
the actual t-top portion is not included where the window seals to it.
gm still has theml they're a fortune.
there will be gaps tween the old and new when the window is up unless those are replaced.
i'm still looking for aftermarket ones.
use "blue tape" to mask off anywhere you dont want the adhesive - this stuff is no fun to clean up.
buy 3 tubes of glue - or 4, i cant recall.
clean the hell out of the areas the glue will be going on teh car.
i found some factory bondo there, too.
tween this and the npd repair clips, mine are tight and right.
have fun
mike

I couldn't find 1AAuto.com. Any other suggestions where I can get the Metros?
Thnaks.

jimmy, fyi, i just noticed - you have hurst hatches - mine are fischers, so i can't speak to metro's fit on them; i am sorry for the goof.
i could special order them for you but it'll cost more; try to find a resto house that stocks them.
