Title says it. The weather stripping on my car has gone bad, the top leaks terribly at the windows. Does anyone know where I can get replacement weather stripping?

 

I remember removing some off a junkyard car but not sure how much of it I got.
Look at a hardtop(got some of that too) and see if you can section that in.
I think the T top part is same up at the lower front

 

^^^ Interesting about the T-Top weatherstripping.

You don't see many of these cars in a junkyard, especially verts. Even if I found one I doubt the weather stripping would be any good, I mean if mine is going bad and its a garage kept car I can't imagine the awful condition the weatherstripping on a junkyard car must be.

Does anyone know where I can get new weatherstripping besides going to the dealership and bending over?

 

I have a couple of hardtop and T top parts cars and the weather striping is fine

 

I will need some one day too, they list the parts w/pricing so I assume their still available.

Just watch their shipping charges..

 

I wonder how long it will be until places like AMM
SoffSeal will be making replacement rubber for 4th
gens.

 

I was pointed to Ecklers a couple months back by a member here.


I am in the process of replacing mine. I think one of the strips I ordered had a soffseal paper data sheet in the package.

 

I was looking myself today and found this. Hope it helps.

I decided that

My top is leaking in the location circled in red.



The window glass is not pressing up against the weatherstripping rubber like on the front portion of the window which was not leaking. That's whats causing the leak.

More closeups (Sorry the focus is a bit off and they're hard to see clearly):






I tried to adjust the weatherstripping, reapplied silicone and all, didn't seal. There's no way around it I'm going to have to replace it.



This diagram was taken from gmpartsdirect, I guess what I need is #17 and #18.



The total for these items for both sides is over $500 dollars, there's no way I'm paying that. Could I be reading this wrong? I find these prices hard to believe.

Wait, Ecklers carries fbody stuff?




I think that's it. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see. Thanks a lot.

 

Great news. Finally 4th gen vert weather strips.

 

This thread has made my day. Can't wait to get these on the car. Mine leaks in the same exact place.
