In my one experience with JC Whitney's bulk weatherstripping, I was not pleased. Stuff wasn't even close and was not usable, this was on a '64 Falcon. I would have to say caveat emptor, although maybe their stuff has improved since then.

Good to know Gary. The customer comments were good for the weatherstripping, but I'd rather see/hear first hand like yourself.

They may well have upgraded their stuff, Jeff. I will confess that my point of view may be a little tainted that what I saw with that weatherstripping, but that was more than 20 years ago.

I also have this image in my head of furry rear package shelf covers and winky-eyed cats (also for the rear window shelf) that you wired to your turn signals, both of which were pretty prominently featured in the Whitney catalogs I remember so well.



But maybe that was then.

Maybe worth a shot - if they'll let you return the stuff if not as advertised.
