imr Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 going to repaint the monte and was wondering what seal kits have you used. Company, brands, mix and match, looking for some ideas and knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I used the soff seal paint kit when I did mine. Everything fit fine no problems at all. I dont remember where I got it from but there out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I did see the soft seal paint kit. it is one I had in mind. do you feel the quality is close to original?. Did it come with weather stripping glue.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Quality was good as close to orig. as I think it could be. No I did have to get the glue separately, I used the 3m weatherstrip adhesive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 ok thanks any other places recommend. soffseal says they are out of kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Spotted this one on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I saw this kit, but it doesnt have all the seals and rubber that I need. I think that kit has the seals for the lights and the door handle and lock. I need window seals also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Ok. I have never seen a complete kit that includes all that. BUT, I purchased a seal kit, both door seals, trunk seal and both seals that run the roofline just under the driprails from Ausleys Chevelle. Soft seal. Yes the Chevelle is the same parts here. Then you will need the outer window felts also. Those are Monte specific. Well at least the quarter windows are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 https://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1970/gaskets-seals/weatherstrip-seals/WK5021/ does this look like a complete kit. has anyone used it? MC1of80 I believe it has window felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Wow! Lol find new things every day! Lol it does look complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 is a substantial kit I believe, i just dont want to sink that kind of money on an inferior kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 That looks like a pretty good kit. I didn't need all that when I did mine. My window seals were in good shape but I did pay extra for cowl seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm sort of in the same boat, looking for all of that stuff. I did a lot of searching thru the old posts here and it seemed like a lot of people recommended 'Metro Moulded' as a supplier for the door, trunk, and hood seals. Soft Seal seemed like it has a good following too. I think some liked that the Metro seals were soft, as others had trouble with some vendors seals being too stiff and interfering with the trunk closing, etc. I've run into that before, big pain.... I saw those complete kits from OPG last week, but decided to order them separately based on the above. I ordered this paint seal kit from OPG though, and it should be here this week (20% off last week so I got it there): https://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/PSK977/ Seems like it is a "RESTOPARTS' branded part (OPGI's brand I think), but it is also available at Summit. Some things are, and somethings aren't from what I've noticed. If you had a bunch of stuff to get from Summit anyways, things like this might push you towards the free shipping threshold. I haven't called Metro yet to order, but from what it seems on their website, they would have all of the other seals needed in my case.

imr Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Maybe I need to look at the list. I know I wanted the soft seals and the felt. the rest I would say is rubbers and bumpers. The plan is to remove the doorsbcleannup the jambs and reassemble. removing all the chrome and seals possible. so with that I am trying to determine what is best.

imr Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 a placed an order with soffseal directly. I called some of the major companys and all sell the same kit but parts seem to be on backorder. Soffseal advertised price wasnt heaper but when I placed the order it came out to the same. I will let you know what I think when I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
