Mine is starting to come apart, but hasn't completely separated yet. My brother has a base Vette that has completely failed. I've not seen a aftermarket window seal that is as good as the original. They are fairly expensive as well. I've been thinking about building a fixture to accurately position (out of the car) the window seal for re-gluing.
I replaced the Rear window strip on my old 89 and my current 90.. both with aftermarket pieces and both seemed to fit fine..

89 one I had for about years without fail, before I sold it
