Trunk Weatherstripping install question?

[RIBS]

After paint, I am installing new trunk weatherstripping seal….
it sort of snapped into place when test fitting…does it need glue underneath or can it just float in the base? I have the 3M glue..

I put glue on mine because at different times, the weatherstripping would stick to the trunk lid and pull up. Of course my trunk has been rebuilt so it may not happen on a OEM trunk.

You need the glue!

Black 3M weatherstrip adhesive. Leave a gap where the ends join to allow air to expel, as the repops don't have the air holes like the originals.

Mine has stayed for 18 years just fine with no glue...

Does anyone know part number for this weatherstripping? Ive tried searching 4 vendors and just seeing weatherstripping for the trunk lid.

The trunk weatherstripping on a 71-73 glues into a channel on the body, there's nothing on the lid. The part I linked to is good for all three body styles, you just trim it to length for a sportsroof.

I used NPD's weatherstripping on a convertible. It has remained soft and flexible for 8 years so far. It seems to be a good product. Just make the seam near the center at the back of the car.
