Factory weatherstrip, where and who? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Limey,

I just ordered a factory A pillar weatherstrip, after seeing your post, through a local dealer in N. VA. It has arrived today. So, there still may be some factory pieces available.

My experience, and I had bough non factory piece before, A pillar, B pillar (halo) and targa sides should be factory piece. After market pieces first look like s**t, too hard and not slipery enough resulting in windows binding and not closing fully despite all sorts of adjustment.

As for the hatch, inside doors and around front wheel well, non-factory, as long as they look decent, should be fine. I am using non-factory hatch and door pieces and have no complaint.

If you need to check for factory piece availability call Dave at Koon Chevrolet Parts - 703 356 0400. Dave is an owner of 90 Z and very familiar w/ our Zs.
