Trunk Seal Replacement

53 Cavalier

Has anyone found a generic seal that works well for the trunk? My '53 Cavalier's seal is soft, well softish, but doesn't have enough spring anymore to keep the trunk sealed.

I see that Steel has them. A bit pricey for us in Canada.

I was looking at this on Amazon. 3/4" x 3/4"

I have the door weatherstripping in stock if you need. It basically goes all the way around the door except the top rear corner. I forget how much if any is used on the front of the door. $3.69/ft.

Most trunk weatherstripping is pretty generic in nature, and there is absolutely nothing Packard or model specifc about the kind Packard used. Find a supplier in country to save cash.

Just the trunk weatherstripping now. I already did the doors with Steele unfortunately. It worked but it's definitely pretty stiff. And expensive.
