These are the door seals (all the way around) with the plastic anchors in the "individual positions". Best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

on soffseal website it sells for $77 and on summit $28 , is that correct? is it the same material ... that seams awful cheap. if so I may have to jump on it, even though Iam not ready to install them yet

My friendly price was $40 3 years ago. I'd jump on 'em. Summit will make it right no matter what they really are, but I suspect they're the real deal. I bought a brick of ammo last year half price because of a similar mistake.

I bought my door weatherstrips from Golden State Pickup Parts years ago. They have a lifetime warranty so I thought I'd check their page before paying for replacements. They show a pair with plastic clips for $27.95.

I gotta tell you, there are door weatherstrips out there that have a high durometer (i.e., they're HARD). If you end up with those you will not be able to easily close the doors and you will deflect the upper part of the door. Be sure you get a soft seal (pun intended).

Hey Mike, yes, it's the same stuff. I used this on my 56 and it was the only stuff I could get the doors to close. It's great stuff

I’m going to give this a go thanks to everyone’s recommendation.
That last seal I got just will not seal up correctly.

They have been really hard to get ahold of over the last 3 months, I've got 3 different makes of seals and none of them seal properly, so I've just been waiting for them to get back in stock!!!

Received my soffseal. Looks like a nice material and I hope it seals out weather and air better then the previous purchase.
