Anybody put trunk weather striping on body?

[69NC 21]

I have seen a few pictures of 69-70 mustangs with the weather striping mounted on the Body. if someone here has done this, can you post back what type, or car model you used when you order the weather striping?

 

Mounting on the body seems like a better way to go to prevent leaks. Water does not run up hill. Pretty much every modern car is like this. The u-channel weather striping would fit on three of the four sides, but the tail panel part is flat, so something would have to be bonded to it, or major reworking would be needed to create a ridge like the rest of the trunk.

 

Thanks in advance!

Here is the web example I was talking about:

Yea this makes more sense too. Wish they came this way, personally.

Normally the only time I see this trick done is with a ill fitting fiberglass decklid. Your better off installing it on the decklid for a better seal.

The downside of doing this is you have to be ever so careful not to damage it when you take items in or out of the trunk
