Vintage Rubber Window Seals

Featured Replies

Vintage rubber has some seals for the front & back glass, and it is labeled AS "280z Rear Windshield Seal Cal Style"  and a similar one for the front.  I prefer the smooth style without the stainless steel pieces. 
 
Does anyone have experience with it?  My car is a 1978, so I'd like opinions on how my car would fare with these.
 
The vehicle is getting painted, so if I use the Sportage weatherstripping for the doors & hatch, I would only need the gaskets for the front & back glass.
 
BTW- 

The defroster grid is still on the back glass, and it's got bits of window tinting still stuck on the lines.  I don't mind scraping the whole thing off, since I don't use the defroster, but it looks more period-correct with the grid on. I suppose I could hose it down with ammonia and try to clean the tinting totally off while the glass is off.
 
Opinions?

I used vintage rubber seals for windshield and hatch glass, but style for stainless trim.   Good fit and quality.
