Anyone know of good web sites for information on how to remove and install new weatherstripping on my 84 vette? THANKS in advance.

Weather stripping
http://www.corvette-rubber.com/
This is one of many places that sells kits. Near the top left of their page there's a button for 'Basic installation steps'
It's very basic. Check out the 'Knowledgebase' and 'Portal' tabs at the top of this CAC page.
I helped one of my kids replace an old t-top weather strip. It was tedious and wore out our fingers getting all the old stuff off. We had a sunny day and stand-by garage in case of rain.
In the end, it came out extremely well and didn't leak.
The advice about using masking tape as a guide is crucial. Also, get plenty of glue remover because the glue really sticks.
Good luck.

Just curious if there is any truth to what Ecklers claims in the fact that their weatherstrip is OE fit while others won't always fit perfectly.
Weatherstrip is an extremely expensive item and I would be PO'd if I messed it up. I do hope to do mine sometime in the near future.
