Default Weatherstrip

If not using NOS what is the best on the market? I heard latex OER was the best but they no longer manufacturer. I am looking at roof rail and door weatherstrip

I used the metro and was pretty happy with it. Doors and windows all seal up and and shut nicely. Just had to install and leave the doors shut in the sun a few different days and all was good.

Someone should make weatherstripping from memory foam... it compresses nearly flat against itself and rebounds completely.

I bought the OER Latex from HeartBeatCity a couple of months ago. I've now installed the upper weatherstrip around the windows and I am really happy with it. Soft, pliable and fit really well.

Maybe they still have stock?

NORCAM - I also used the OER latex roof rails and door surrounds, they sealed great with minimal effort.
