Has anyone replaced their weatherstripping? I see many different companies but Im sure most are for reg c4 not the ZR1 due to the wider *** end. Mine is all original and I do see some water getting in so want to replace it and this I would think is something fairly simple I can do. Please provide any companies and if you agree is fairly easy to do.

I have always been able to find NOS GM, it’s gone now. I am still trying to decide on another brand. I here corvette rubber is good but I want to feel how soft it is. Need the super soft stuff. I think OE GM was latex but would like other opinions as well.

The wider rear end of the ZR-1 has no bearing on any of the weather stripping. Its all standard C4. As far as the company, there are many to choose from. NOS GM would be my first choice, but theyre both hard to find and expensive.
There are choices for aftermarket. Wilcox, Steel Rubber, Mid America, Ecklers etc etc.

Buy OEM if you can find it,I’ve heard nothing good about aftermarket WS. I’ve got everything but one door,the halo panel and the top sides. If you find NOS it ain’t cheap,the windshield WS is $400 if you can find it.

Had the same questions myself, after getting the wrong stuff once. Wilcox has "the right stuff", and if I'm not mistaken, they're affiliated with Corvette Rubber which also provided me with new rubber for my hatch. Good (soft!) stuff like OEM!:thumbsup:
