1981 Repro Door Weatherstrips

[Tom B.]

I need to replace the passenger side door weather on my wife's '81 and am a little confused as to what to buy. I see that most vendors list just one for that model at around $79. Then I see that Zip has a weather strip for $44.00 which I assume is a functional replacement. They also list another one they say is Latex. It is listed as the same material as original and an exact replacement of the original. It's $119.95. What's the difference in these and which one do I buy to be absolutely as correct as possible?

My wife ordered this car new and I have been very careful over the years to replace parts as needed with only the most accurate pieces available.

Thanks
Tom

The latex rubber is as original. The cheaper version is made of a harder rubber

Thanks Dick. Looks like I know what my winter project will be.
