Alternative rear hatch weather stripping

So reading on other several threads pertaining to weather stripping i decided to take it upon myself to find alternative means of good stripping!

 

My brother has a 1996 crysler cirrus sitting in the driveway since its messed up. I took the weather stripping from it that is above the doors in hopes that it may fit the hatch (because the universal weather strip kit from pepboys costs 30$ a pack). Turns out that it fits perfectly! you will need both strips from each side of the car and it will be plenty to fit in the hatch (the body to rear hatch weather stripping). Last time i checked there were PLENTY of these cars in the junkyard. The stripping fits very snug and may seem a little difficult to fit in, but it works fine. The hatch will just require a little pressing to get down. Ill post some pics to make more sense of what im saying.

This is the lip above the door weather stripping that the other striping sits on, it is identical on the other side, Take both of those strips. They are about 5 ft long

Example of a piece of the weather stripping

 

Hope this helps out fellas, the pick n pulls in the bay area charge about 5$ for 1 piece, so it will run you 10$ for entire hatch. Pretty good deal if you ask me
