Default Best Weatherstripping?

My '96 vette is in serious need of new weatherstripping. I've heard that Ecklers has a good product. Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy it?I've seen kits from $500+ to as low as $300. Is there a huge difference between the quality of these aftermarket weatherstripping kits?Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ordered mine last Friday for my 90 from them. 7-10 days shipping so I hope you arent in a hurry. I hope my order makes it before the long weekend or my plans will be changing.

Another one for Wilcox

When I had my windshield replaced they put in a new weatherstrip (I don't remember the brand). It was horrible. I made them take it out and replace it with a Wilcox. It fit great with no leaks or wind noise and was generally a more consistent shape and firmness than the other new one.

I just finished my weather-stripping project. I prefer the Ecklers but the Wilcox windshield deal I bought worked and it was cheaper just needed to adjust windows several times to get all to fit right.

Good Luck. After this weather-stripping project I hope I never live to see another.
