There is a company that a few members have used called Keen Parts who make replacement weather strip. I bought an A-pillar gasket from them, but after recieving it, it just didn't feel or look like the OEM gasket. If you pinching penny's, it probably not a bad way to go, I just preferred the look and feel of the OEM gasket. Here's the link:

corvetterubber.com as well

I purchased all new GM weatherstrip a few years back.

Its not really hard to replace but you need to get the pieces into the channels where there are some like the rear hailo that runs from door to door.

The real work is removing everything without damaging the reatainers they are a bit flimsy.

You need to scrape out all the old adhesive use some kind of stripper to get it out goo gone stuff like that.

Its not what I would call a easy job unless you had all new weatherstrip retainers and they have been unavailable for some time.
