Factory weatherstrip, where and who?
So, GM have all weatherstrips discontinued now, who is the best place to buy aftermarket seals and such. I know ebay has them a dime a dozen, but looking for top grade stuff.

Kurt,
Maybe talk to Year One. They do alot of resto stuff and would be a good start. Good luck.

Re: Factory weatherstrip, where and who?
I've been searching a number of sites on the web. They list the parts, but not having placed an order yet, I can't be sure if they really have it in stock. I am just price checking at this point, and prices are all over the map. I also noticed that when I search the part number, IE 10268887 for the windshield piece, they always ask which GM model car you have. I wonder if all the GM makes use the same part number, or why else would they ask if the part was for a Chevy or a Buick or a Cadillac, etc. I also wonder if this is why I got the wrong part from you Limey?

Re: Factory weatherstrip, where and who?
Ok, being doing all kinds of digging around and such, seems ecklers - Corvette Central - MAD and ebay sellers for the most part all sell the same China seals. There is a co. called Corevtte-rubber.com that sell and manufacture their own. I'm going to order some up and check out the quality and fitment, hopefully they are as good if not better than the GM ones, which are excellent quality, just not available anymore.
Carl, you want me to send you one of these if they are good quality? |

I'll get a set on the way and give opinions and such.
3 Weeks in the Bahamas sure sounds nice. |

Re: Factory weatherstrip, where and who?
I got a rear hatch seal from Lone Star Car Parts off Ebay, seems to be good quality, don't know about other seals.
