OK. I scanned the product label to help recognize it at the store. I also visited the website listed. You can order a product catalog, but there isn't a product directory on line. The link below shows the label (the file was too big to insert here)

Also, the 7/8 inch height worked great for my humongous gaposis, however, when the door is closed, the edge of the weatherstrip does just show around the edge of the door trim. A smaller height might be better for those that want the seal completely hidden. (I think it might look good against a dark paint and would match the beading I plan to put back around the fenders.)

Ed -
The package contains 10 feet of weatherstrip. I'm guessing it would take two packages to do both doors. I plan to buy three packs just to be safe and because I haven't worked out where the seams will be.
I have just bought one package and put some pieces on my doors where the huge gaps were to see how well it sticks and seals over some time. I would suggest you do the same. Of course, since it is just peel and stick stuff, it will be easy to swap out if it doesn't work. It's also was very inexpensive (compared to the stock stuff) so it's no biggy if it winds up being a really bad idea.
They had (3) different seal types from the same company in the rack at the Pep Boys near me. I would have to get the product catalog to see what else they make.

Thanks Randy, as far as the seam on your weatherstripping. A friend of mine use the regular stuff but cut his because the length was too long. He ended up at the lower corner of the door nearest the front fender. at the end, he cut a 45 angle on both ends and butted them together. Very clean and unless your really looking hard in that area, you don't even notice a seam. Might help you out.
