Weather Strip

I recently refinished my engine bay also.

No regrets.

Any Pantera vendor will sell them:

You decide if you want the real thing and spent quite a lot of $$$ on them, or a non original.

In my case, I see an aberration to pay $300 on some of the wetherstrips (windshields), and I "accept" cheaper replicas.

Wilkinsons was out of stock last month when I tried to order them, but their door weather strip (although not identical to the original) was a perfect fit and great value at $33/door (I recall). Please post what you end up with as I've searched high and low for an exact match and not found one that is the same (many cheaper ones are functionally close)

Heck, I wouldn't know an exact match if it bit me. And I suspect most other owners couldn't tell the difference, either.

One trick I've seen, but not copied, is to increase the seal on the forward edge of the fiberglass tub (edge closest to window) by putting on a length of the closed-cell pipe insulation used to keep pipes from freezing.

I place my suitcases stored in the tub inside large plastic trash bags in an effort to keep gas and exhaust fumes from giving clothing that 'eau de garage' scent.

Here is what the factory trunk seal on a '71 looks like:
