    I am ready to buy my windshield and rear glass weatherstripping so I would like to hear some feedback on RPS, Auto Krafters, or any others. How did they fit? How was the quality? Prices etc...

    Also, isn't there several RPS parts dealers from this forum? I am in NC and I am under the impression that there are guys closer to me than CA. I would like to discuss just buying the complete weatherstrip kit if RPS has one. I know AK has one but...

    Thanks in advance

    It's all the same stuff no matter who you buy it from, but the prices do differ.

    I made my quarter window gaskets from a set of door gaskets - it was a little pricey but they turned out as good as the factory.
