Factory Welt

[87mj]

I realize there are few choices regarding the door weatherstrip. My research indicates Kia or Precision seems to be about it.  Has anyone found anything that allows you to still use the factory welt strip around the doors?  I need to replace my weather strip but I would like to keep the factory welt strip if possible.  The car is a 1970.

Thanks

Are you sure the welt cannot be fitted using other brands weather strips? I ask because no one else reported having this issue and I plan to use the KIA

I think that stuff doesn't use the factory welt.  It is built into the weather-strip.  Then if you try to force the factory welt over the top of the weather-strip, I suspect it will make it too thick.  Then the door close issue comes back.  I think?
