Willcox

Ok, looking at many of the different venders, some have 2 different levels and some have 3 levels of quality. What are the difference and where does the CRC (Willcox) fall into this?

I'm half way done installing my Willcox weatherstripping. Very happy with the fit and quality.

Indeed I have... lol... I remove other brands all the time and replace them with CRC. I have a rack full of removed other brand weatherstrips... it is the only brand I will install in my shop.

Corvette Rubber Company (CRC) makes about the best there is. Skip everything else and you won't have to fret over comparisons.

I looked at the Corvette Rubber Company site but with the Willcox promotion there parts are the best price. I just placed my order with Willcox.

I heard the 'newer' option out there is soo stiff it causes probs with opening/closing the doors etc... I'd stick with the good stuff guys have mentioned above... At least that's my plan when I tackle that project...

Don't cheap out on weatherstripping. The cheap stuff doesn't fit right.

Got my from the good fellas at Zip and it fit great. I have not compared it to others, but I live in Mechanicsville where they are located and felt if there was a problem, I could run up and talk with them. They stand behind all their stuff too.
