I.m about to get my 66 Coupe body stripped and painted and I'll need to replace certain items mainly body rubbers

Where would be the best place to get a set?

Nowhere Man

All the parts houses are going to sell you the same set. Just pick a outfit you like

Some vendors 'materials/suppliers' are better than others....i bought a complete set to do my Convertible 9 years ago, there was, so far "one part" that was inferior to the one i replaced it with from a different vendor...that part was the one where the wind wing shuts onto the front glass...it disintegrated on the top edge/end from the sun/weather, it rarely had the top on, so when top, was on, it never sealed at that point...

Either Corvette Rubber or DR REBUILD.

Both are know for having the best rubber products for our cars. Corvette Rubber for major weatherstripping, and DR R for the rest.

I'm unclear as to which rubber on the reference guide goes where

https://www.corvette-rubber.com/6367coupedoor.shtml

Why don't they show a diagram with the reference numbers?

Can anyone help, I'd possibly like the 9 piece kit but some numbers aren't even shown

I would simply call them and ask their sales/tech adviser.

It is possible that some Corvette vendors also sell their product at a cheaper cost.......so ask them which major vendors carry their line of seals and weatherstripping. Then call and check pricing.

I'm in the UK, I've emailed them so lets see if I get a reply

Try this vendor for 'DESCRIPTION' of weather strip only....then use it to look on the corvette rubber link...

I can say this from EXPERIENCE.

I recently painted a 1967 coupe. And the door main weatherstrip on the left side was being replaced. When i did so with Corvette Rubber w/strip. The 90 bend a the top back of the door was so dense that it caused the door to stick out when shut. And the door was spot on due to all the work I had to do. So it had nothing to do with the door fitting correctly.

I ended up re-using the weatherstrip that was on the car even though it was damaged in another area and I had to section these two together. BUT...that 90 degree bend in the old weatherstrip was much softer and did not cause the door to push out. And thus...the door sealed up perfectly all along the top where previously with the CR w/strip I could see light coming though.

And the softness of the old weatherstrip had nothing to do with it being old. It was in great shape and NOT compressed...it was just clearly made differently.

Quite, Thats why I thought I'd ask here for experiences.

It's not easy here in the UK. Life would be so much easier if Corvette Rubber took the time to respond to my email. So unprofessional it annoys me

I know I'll end up buying from Ecklers and possibly end up with the issues you had but at least they respond

Sent you a PM.
