I just did one of mine with the stuff from Lowes. Can't decide if I like it or not and when I washed the car, I think almost as much water got behind it as the ones without it.

I'll be picking some up tomorrow. I used the FrostKing open cell crap as soon as I bought the car. It is useless.

Just now, looking at my tail lights (car is black), the three that don't have the weatherstrip might be a bit dustier than the one that has the weatherstrip. Sooo, it might do a bit of good. Still cant decide which way I'm going to go.
