I bought the package deal they have with the door and hatch weather stripping, they also have it for doors and trunk in a package for coupes. it was good stuff no more wind noise. Pretty much everything I haver bought from 50resto has been top notch stuff.

It's probably leaking at the top of the doors because of the door pins as much as because of the weatherstripping...

I have heard that nothing stands up as well as the ford weather stripping. It may be expensive, but if you plan on keeping the car for a long time, it would be worth it.
Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine.

I have got the weatherstripping from 50Resto, California Mustang, Ford, and Autozone. Out of the above, I like the stuff Autozone sells its from Metro Molded Parts, here is the link to the door strips 87-93 Weatherstrips Every so often I shoot them with silicone spray to keep them flexible. Last time I checked Ford had them for $50 and Autozone was like $35 each.

I would definitely check ur pins too. Just open door slightly and see if the door can be raised and lowered at the hinges. If it moves, the bushings are wore out and need replaced with the pins. I did not achieve good seal untill the pins/bushings were replaced.

If the Ford weather stripping is so great than why do we all need to replace ours....I'm not downing Ford, just a thought.

Well these cars are in many cases 11-17 years old, weatherstripping can't last forever. But I never thought about it that way. bhuff was just saying it may last longer than other companies, who really knows? It could depend on where you live too. I'm sure cold New England winters will be rougher on them than sunny Florida.

Wear and tear is based upon several factors. How many times u open and shut your door, how you drag ur feet across the door sill, weather related conditions, etc, etc.

My 50resto driver's door weatherstripping has lasted at least a year, and doesn't leak any more than my good stock stuff on the passenger door.
