Topic: Best trunk lid gasket? Coupe/Conv

[Oz390]

This is the section of the softer "Shelby" Carpenter seal.  I install it wide side against the trunk lid...

Brant sent a Carpenter, made in USA trunk gasket and it is a huge improvement.  Can close the lid now, much better gaps!

So this could be used on Mustang Coupes or convertibles, though it would NOT be suggested for CONCOURS correctness.

...and this one could be used on at least 67-68 Coupes and convertibles, would be concours correct but NOT recommended for use on California Special or High Country cars because it is still too dense.

Does this sound right to everyone?

FORD made a somewhat universal-fit trunk seal. Part # COMB-6443720-C

Has anyone tried these for fitment?

Yes, work well, price tag can be a bit hefty.  Some are soft, some are hard though, inconsistent.

Has anyone checked the Ford Full sized sedan trunk lid gasket weatherstrip part # D0AZ-6243720-A to see if after trimming, will it be suitable to use on these 67-8 Mustangs?
