"Corvette Rubber" supplies most of the resto parts houses.

Be careful of the rear deck weatherstrip - most repro's are too thick and your deck alignment will be off. We had to cut to adjust the deck height and now looks great. In my travels, one of the first things I now notice is there are many midyears out there with the rear deck lid height off due to incorrect weatherstrip! Good luck!
