I purchased the rubber seal and furflex from Moss (thru a wholesaler though,
never pay THOSE prices!) and they fit well. Some words of caution - if the
channels that hold the rubber seal are gone or almost gone, go with the one
pieces rubber/furflex, don't try to reweld the channel on. My car had next
to no rust so I was lucky the channels were in great shape.
Also, be prepared for LOTS of door fitting and mashing of the new rubber
seal! I let mine set with the doors latched at one click for a month before
I could actually get the doors to close all the way. Now, a year later,
everything fits nice and snug. Same with the trunk rubber. Oh, and be really
stocked with band-aids and beer as fitting the rubber in the channel is an
extreme test of patience and pain level...
If I had to do it again, I'd probably go with the TRF parts as I think they
have better quality. Watch for the sales and you could do well...

Gary,
I used the 2 piece setup (furflex on the inside and the rubber seal on the
outside).
The furflex fits real snug on the sill weld and up to the top of the
windshield.
The rubber fits in that groove or channel.
THe fit was perfect and does its job. Real easy to install. The furflex
looks
real sharp.
Both parts from TRF.
Bob
