very well.  made my car un-drafty enough for the heater to actually
cope with frosty pre-dawn new england january.

btw i live near a river, and i learned not to turn the defroster on
until i'd
a. warmed the car up
b. climbed out of the valley
because if i didn't wait it'd just frost up the inside of my
windshield before i'd gone a block.  but 1/4mi away there was no
problem.  the transition was abrupt and startling.

" Just pull the windlace off and replace it with the truck stuff?

in my case the windlace was already gone, but essentially yes.

frank mentioned jc whitney - that's where i got it.  one 25' roll did
my 2dr with a good bit left over.  it took something like 9'/dr.

" And the weatherstrip?

can't help you there.
