what is the problem with the fitting.  The company that used to supply JCW with weatherstripping has the best fit in my opinion.  What piece are you working on?

BTW, doors were NOT the same from 73-87.  They are broken down 73-76 and 77-87(91).  The interior skin is different on these.  They complete doors will swap up or down though.
