I used weatherstripping from Supersoft Weatherstripping (in Minneapolis, MN). It's available from a number of different outlets.

Classic Industries part # MB1290 is the correct roof rail seal that has the molded rubber to seat the quarter windows.

So you guys are happy with the Metro Super Soft brand?  I was thinking about ordering their kits from Summit while I have a 10% off coupon.

Pricing for weatherstripping is all over the board for even the same product brand.  The question is what all do you need?  First, look to see if you can reuse your original pieces.  I had much rather have original pieces over any of the reproduction pieces.  I sell seals from Soft Seal, Metro and Steel and none of them will fit as well as the original pieces.  I sell the clips which can replace broken ones and for less than $10, you could replace all of the clips if the seals are not torn or severely wrinkled.  For a 68 to 70 B-Body, the general consensus is that the Metro piece fits a bit better.  Soft Seal had an issue a couple years ago of the seals being too big and hard, but they have retooled and they do fit much better.  Roof rail seals is the same scenario.  The thing that people do not realize is the extra pieces like U-Jamb seals, door end cap seals, door end plugs, quarter glass seals and window felts all should be figured into the project.  Again, use as much of the original pieces as possible, especially as the U-Jamb seals do not fit that well from any of the manufactures.  Specify the Top Cat window felts if you are going to replace them.  I know what I charge for door seals and at this time Classic Industries has very good pricing, but I do not know which brand they carry, but I believe that it will be from Metro.  Personally, I would also not buy any weatherstripping as door seals and trunk weatherstripping until I had the need for them.  You do not want them all rolled up tight or wrinkled up as this can be an issue when you install them.  Also, shopping around, you may find one vendor cheaper on door seals but much more expensive on the window felts or u-jamb seals, so you will have to do your homework to get the best pricing for the best product.
