Weatherstrip Replacement Question

[Z51JEFF]

As stated the OEM WS is the only way to go.Has anybody got a complete price on all the parts,best price Ive heard is maybe $1500 for all the pieces.Ive read in the past that Krytox is the best thing for weather striping so thats what I use on mine,not cheap but neither is the WS.

By the GM wx strip...I did and it is great, as expected. Everyone I know who used the cheap stuff was sorry.

Check Eastwood.com for some helpful tools to get the gunk off once you remove the rubber.

And, some Dielectric Grease will go a long way in protecting your new rubber.

I have GM for the doors, Aftermarket for the hatch and A and B Pillars

That said, so far I cannot complain about the aftermarket stuff. When I got my car both windows were far from aligned so as it sits right now the driverside is almost perfect but the Passenger side needs work still, I jyst have not gotten to it yet

I bought my WS from Melrose T-top.. decent quality for the $200 total I spent for the A and B pillars.

for me I needed WS and needed it at a budget price.. I think the melrose is good, maybe not as good as GM, but for the price I am happy

Thanks to All

looks like the jury is in on GM stripping but like jeff lve got to make some ecconomies considering the a$$ fell out of the pound/$, and lve got to add tranatlantic post, and possibly import duty to that, I will try melrose

lm wary of all the weatherstrip sellers on Ebay so will avoid anything that doesnt have a reccomendation.....but hey its only a piece of rubber.....famous last words

Thanks guys

I bought weatherstripping of ebay from lonestar.. I found it to be harder then OEM. I bought another set of aftermarket pieces from Melrose T-Top. they were $99 each for the A and B pillars. so far I am happy with these, much better then the other stuff. I still need to fix the passenger window but they work well.

Good Luck
