Weatherstripping on Ebay

[Mike]

Has anyone seen this type of weatherstripping for a Z?

Guy claims that it will work better than factory or aftermarket. Of COURSE he's gonna make that claim. Sheesh.

Anyway, I really wonder if it would work. After installing my hatch weatherstripping over the weekend, I could go for something that's GLUELESS! That stuff gets everywhere!

Huh. How do you suppose it "pushes into place"? Is it adhesive backed or something? Sounds "too good to be true", but who knows- anyone bought it yet? anyone willing to lay down some $$- Mike will let you post a technical article about it, and give a pat on the back i'm sure!

I too am interested, but not 60 bucks worth yet. Jeremiah

Take a look at the image on the auction. It looks like the weatherstripping includes a metal channel that seems to clip in place like a continuous 'c-clamp' or something.

Looks like "universal fit" weatherstripping to me. May have a thin metal strip in the rubber where it then pinch fits to the jamb. Notice it says trimming is necessary?

May be better off spending a little more and getting something that does fit. You could probably buy this stuff at most any good automotive trim shop, probably save a buck or two at the same time.
