I have used a number of their trunk kits and have always had trouble shutting them initially but then they come around. seems well made to me. ---------- From: David Homstad[SMTP:dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 1999 9:42 AM To: L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [FWDLK] rubber & Weatherstripping Mark and Don, Metro is in my neighborhood, so I know several people that have used their products. We have held car club meetings at their outlet store. I once loaned them an NOS cowl vent weatherstrip for my 56 to copy. A few years ago, my son bought a kit to do the weatherstrips on his car. Most of the rubber was a little too hard to compress properly. Doors and windows no longer fit and had to be readjusted. Recently, a friend bought a kit and did his car. He was pleased, and he is very hard to please. I think that Metro has changed their rubber formula to a softer material, which seems to work OK. This is why they have added "Supersoft" to the name. If you order any product from them, make sure you get the new "supersoft" material, not the old stuff.
