Rear hatch weatherstrip.
The rear window weather stripping on the ZR-1's and base vettes usually will come apart at the corners over time. When they are originally made, it appears that they are glued with what I assume is a 3M product. Has anyone here had any success re-gluing? 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.

Re: Rear hatch weatherstrip.
About $59 from Wilcox on sale. They ALL last about two years. Some black RTV in the corners may help if they are not seperated already. Dyelectric grease keeps them supple and conditioned

Re: Rear hatch weatherstrip.
I went with OEM 3 or 4 years ago....
Very expensive, but some have issues with reproductions. David |

Re: Rear hatch weatherstrip.
For any Weather strip for our cars here is what I would use
Hatch, OEM or Aftermarket (no issues with Aftermarket for me) Doors themselves, OEM, Aftermarket is not as durable Roof (targa), OEM or Melrose Repros.. My Melrose pieces are as soft as OEM A and B Pillar, OEM but I am using the stuff from Melrose, it is okay so far
