As I pondered what I might do about weatherstripping I made a trip to the junkyard. I notice that on the same driver's 87 tbird door (the one the same as mine) there are at least 3 different styles of weatherstripping. On the door is the flat piece going around the curved part of window on door. Another piece of (more the style in the picture) stripping that frames the cabin and has a corner to it. Finally, the felt where the rolled up window tucks in to the top of the door frame. So, what you might consider doing is looking at what you have and deciding what part of the job the moulding will do. Example: The moulding on the trunk is different than the molding on cabin. Note: It is the felt being worn that creates wind noise by the back corner of the window, so if noise is your problem check that before you get new rubber. Check and study the pattern of dirt on the paint in the spaces where the rubber should seal. Unless it is obviously very degraded, it probably leaks less than you might assume. I think the price is ok, it is a matter of how much of the job it will do. Auction says 'kit' but I do not think it is a "complete kit, rather it is enough to do like, the cabin.
