Who has the best weatherstripping ?It's for a 75 coupe I've read a couple of threads about bad stuff. I think I've been screwed by just about half the vendors I've messed with.
I just installed weatherstripping on my '81 this past weekend. I bought it from "The Last Detail (Atlanta Corvette)" over the net. I got the kit that includes the hood seal, t-tops, front window pillar seals, rear door window seals, and door seals. Paid $210 plus shipping. They seem to be pretty good except that they are more stiff than the original stripping. I've been having a little trouble getting the windows to line up. Put some dielectric gel on the portions that will come in contact with the windows and it will help the glass to slide up the seal to break it in. T-tops will be hard to close at first but gets easier after the seal has a chance to compress. Removal and installation took longer than I thought so give yourself some time. Also, use the black adhesive instead of the yellow. It will look a lot cleaner as the yellow really stands out if any gets on anything you don't want it on. Good luck.
I know that I am going against the rest of the opinions here but I found that NOTHING fits as well as the GM stuff. It is a WHOLE bunch more expensive that the aftermarket stuff but IT FITS!!!! I tried the aftermarket stuff and I couldn't get my door to close without slamming them, my windows wouldn't go up more than 3/4 up & I was afraid that the glass tops were going to break trying to get them latched. I ordered the GM stuff from a local dealer and I was amazed at the differance.
