Any suggestions for a good weatherstripping kit for 69 Shelby GT500?

Thanks!

It would be good to know if convertible or fastback because the weatherstrip is different.

So I tried 3 and settled on Scott Drake which made the doors close perfect - soft seal would not compress enough and the door edges would stick out - CJ pony parts kit had the same issue as soft seal.
