Help on '63 split window rear glass rubber?
I am having a nightmare in resealing/replacing the rear weatherstrip in my '63 rear glass to stop leaking.
I have bought 3 pieces so far, a full set of a pair and a replacement side. I have made purchases from Paragon and ZIP. I will not say which maker's part did what.
However, I have one side that's too long to fit. I have another thats too short. One of them tore easily.
Has anyone had actual experience with these specific parts that have worked out correctly? I am aware that everyone sells them. Not sure where they get them.

I bought mine from Corvette Rubber. They are being installed by my body guy as we speak....I'll know more after that but he said that CR was the right place to get them....
I had a badly scratched RH rear glass and am having a date-code correct, original replacement installed. I don't feel competent to tackle that one-year-only stainless steel molding myself. My body guy has 3 split window coupes of his own and knows the drill.

I bought my rubber from zip and had no problems with the rear windows (except for the crap repro clips I put the originals back in, but my windshield rubber came apart at the seam.

Just talked to my body/paint guy and he said the Corvette Rubber '63 rear window seal slipped right in like nobody's business.
No issues whatsoever
