Looking to keep my car as original as possible. Rear hatch weather strip has separated at the seam. [front corner] I do not think it can be repaired. Looking for input on what would be the best way to go. Dumb Question>> Can we still get OEM? <<. If not what would be the best after market make to match OEM. Thanks

Assuming it is at the lower corners, you can glue it with clamps and it will look like new.

Yes they are still available. However if you do buy an OEM replacement make sure its is still sealed in the GM bag as they tend to dry rot over time if they are stored unsealed. I would recommend Wilcox as they are the only brand I know of at this time that reinforce the corners of their replacement strips. GC

Yes I believe so however be prepared for the sticker shock. Unless you are going NCRS Wilcox is a brand I have used in the past.
